Fernando, I may have good news. I will post an update later today.

James: any updates on this? Have the “assaults” on your P1610 hard drive ceased? I ended up going back to XPT but miss the look and improved tablet OS features a bit.

Vista Sucks. Period. Is anyone having problems with the battery life as well? I feel that Windows XP gave much better battery life on my laptop.

I have experienced this “disk terror” from vista also on a normal PC. 1GB RAM Celeron 3.06 GHZ. A friend told me to try “O&O Defrag V8″ and this have minimized these “disk terror” 90%. Now i happens very very seldom. They have a trail version on their website. http://www.oo-software.com.

Also i dont like the vista destop search and use Copernic. For me it works quite faster, without so much HDD usage.

I always wait a minimum of 6 months and usually closer to 12 to upgrade an operating system. The history of service packs, security holes, conflicts with both hardware and software have forced me to do this.

Your comment that at least once a day vista “does something that holds me up and makes me sit there twiddling my thumbs. When this happens there are usually other people present who have to wait..” is enough for me. Compters, cell phones, and tech in general is only a value to me if it makes life easier for me. I love new stuff- but when I am working I need things to promptly and cleanly work. TabletXP is not perfect but it’s stable and gets things done quickly for me.

Here you go:

I’ll pop back to the site when it’s released to read your review.

Okay all you MAC fanboys (and girls), I’ll take your advice. Now, where can I buy a Mac Tablet? About 5-9 inch screen?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Wow you would think that with Longhorn/Vista five years late, you’d get more than a chrome plated turd, not much of an improvement from the brushed metal turd that was XP. In fact all things considered at least XP worked much of the time while Vista wastes four hours of my time on average each day.

Jesus man do yourself a favour and just buy a Mac! Every person I know is about to buy one or already has. EVERY SINGLE ONE SWEARS THEY WILL NEVER USE WINDOWS AGAIN.

If you feel some desperate need to have Windows Vista or XP at hand use Parallels. Once you start using a Mac you’ll NEVER go back and wonder why you put up with the abuse for so long. Then you can sell that laptop to some poor soul before it’s worthless.

No clue what the issue is… I run the latest and greatest OS X (Tiger) and will jump to upgrade my laptop to Leopard on DAY ONE! I bet I upgrade the rest of the systems and my three servers withing 60 days. I support OS X (Tiger) 26 systems in a medical practice and keep them all at the latest version of OS. I run one iMac with Boot Camp to boot into XP when needed, but we only use Windows about 10 mintues a day.

Get a life, get a Mac.
