Yes, I’ve been hard at work trying to get Vista RC2 fully functional on the Q1 UMPC. Vista on its own is quite stable; it’s the little Samsung and touchscreen nuances that took some effort. So how does it work? What’s the performance like? Obviously, I can’t show every Vista feature in a short video (or even a large one apparently), so here’s a walkthrough of some features:

  • Vista startup with sound and touchscreen (with some workarounds)
  • Quick overview of the system tray icons
  • Screen calibration
  • Native TIP and the floating tip
  • Vista search and Start
  • New York Times Reader
  • Windows Journal
  • Windows Media Center for audio, games and video
  • Windows Mobile Device Center and PDANet; didn’t work this time…that’s the nature of doing a video I guess! ;)
  • Speech Recognition demo
  • Standby and Resume time
  • Oops! I almost forgot the Screen Rotation and Screen Resolution switcher!
