Ultra Mobile(Tablet) PC's & Vista

[Jeff]

Well,
Now I'm not just content with my new latop. Any insight into Ultra
Mobile(tablet-origami) PC's and Vista?

Jeff-more $$ than brains_LOL

As far as I know, they won't be fully powerful enough to run a full copy of
Vista Ultimate - but will easily run XP without a problem. They'll be
lighter than Tablet PC's, they'll be small and petite but big enough to
touch and type with - but generally at the moment you're looking at CPU
speeds of about 1Ghz or 1.5Ghz at x86 architecture.

However, there will be a future version of Vista which should accomodate
Origami devices )

As Zack pointed out the current Origami devices would be pushing your luck a
bit until they can get the performance up.

As for a proper Tablet PC.... Well with Vista on a Tablet PC it'll come to
life.
