it usually goes like this: if you say tablet PC, with a lowercase t, then you mean any generic tablet PC. But if you say Tablet PC. Then you are talking about Microsoft’s Tablet PC. This should apply to the UMPC as well. Ultra Mobile PC is Microsoft’s. ultra mobile PC is anybody’s. Anyhow, I don’t think the term Ultra-Mobile PC was popular before Intel/Microsoft coined it, so if you wanna avoid confusion, don’t refer to a really small PC by UMPC when you don’t mean Microsoft’s UMPC.

According to the English language it is. Microsoft doesn’t control the English language.
