Has anyone installed XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 in this system?, Dell has XP
drivers at their site and I'm helping a friend enable the touchpad capability
he lost after downgrading from Vista, any ideas as of what to do or what
drivers will be needed, seems that Dell only supports Vista on this system :(

Probably too late to ask, but did you or your friend get Dell's help
with this before the downgrade? Years ago, when I bought a Dell laptop
with Windows ME on it and became miserable, I called up Dell, and they
offered to ship me a replacement hard drive with Windows 98 on it. I
admit I have no clue as to whether they still help unhappy customers
get earlier versions, but I see indications that they were providing XP
CDs as recently as a few months ago.

Since it is an option to buy an XT with XP TPCE, and since I had in my
hands not ten days ago an XT with TPCE 2005, I'm pretty sure they will
support XP on the XT, if it is installed by their guidelines. What they
might not support is people buying one configuration and trying to go
with a different configuration without the right resources. Did the
media that was used to install XP on the machine come from Dell, and
was it intended for that device?
