From: Rich Raffenetti on 2 May 2008 10:15 Has anyone tried upgrading a Fujitsu tablet PC to Vista? Fujitsu doesn't provide support for upgrading but I wonder if Microsoft has included drivers in Vista which would support some/all of the Fujitsu tablet devices. I'm currently weaning myself from my T4010 tablet in favor of another desktop PC and will soon be in a position to either rebuild the XP Tablet with the support disks or install or upgrade to Vista. I'm wondering if trying Vista would be at all fruitful or an exercise in frustration.

Hardware specific stuff IS required that isn't on the Vista discs. I upgraded my U810 from pre-installed Vista to XP Tablet because Vista had so many problems. > >

They won't help, and getting drivers to make the machine perform properly with Vista may not be possible. Just stick with what you've got unless any manufacturer says they support Vista. -- Chris H.

From: Sven on 4 May 2008 12:51 I'll second that. Tried it on a Toshiba that they weren't supporting the upgrade on. Most stuff worked great, but the tablet specific buttons needed drivers that didn't exist, and little annoyances, like the screen not auto-rotating to portarait in tablet mode, made me re-store from the factory restore disks.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I was hoping that someone had tried and been successful.
