I know it's not really Vista news, but it's still cool :o)

I'm sure Vista can be installed on UMPC ;) http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS4596527542.html

Cheers, Roman

I reckon Vista should be able to go on there ;o) However, we do believe it's a special version of XP Tablet Edition that's going onto it - some of the UI is different, expecially the inputting bits.

(From Haiku to) Origami = Intel UMPC + MS Tablet XP/Vista + MS Touch Pack http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/so-what-is-origami-well-tell-ya/

Touch Pack consists of a launcher app that better groups and opens apps based on a touchscreen interface; DialKeys, a thumb-based text input system that uses those two onscreen touch inputs on either side; Touch Improvements, a suite of environment optimizations to make using Windows with your fingers a less painful experience; and some other stuff, like Sudoku and an Origami-optimized Windows Media skin to kind of round out the whole thing.
