I've seen your posts for years in various PPC forums.

I just got a U810 a few weeks ago, and as a heavy user
of several PPC's, the tablet mode will take some getting
used to.

Biggest thing I miss:

When you use any of the input modes on a PPC, the
text input panel for whatever mode you selected would
automatically pop-up if the app needed text input.
Vista tablet does not do this. Takes 1 or two extra stylus
pokes to get the SIP up. It does not realize when your
cursor is on the "page" in Word that you probably want to enter
text (duh). Very annoying.

Other than that, because of the large amt. of horsepower
avail. from the Tablet PC vs. a PPC, the various input
panels are wonderfully responsive and after you
discard some of the things we PPC users had to learn to
get SIP's to work in a PPC (like just skipping a space in
the Writing tool to get a space btwn. words vs. needing
to "hard enter" it on a PPC) things go pretty well.

I actually use the little 810 in keyboard mode more than
tablet mode. I have thin fingers and I can type WAAAYY
faster on it than I can input stuff with the stylus.

The 810 I got runs Vista Home Premium. It runs pretty
well when you disable/uninstall stuff you don't need.

Somebody has already dropped a 100G drive into the 810:
