You have the regular desktop one, running with all the features and everything.

Then you have the one for Origami, where it runs in a more simplified mode, with the basic tools at the top, and the whole web page right under. It runs in IE7 full screen mode so you can see the web page really big.

I think the Origami (IE7) browser is more to keep in the line with the Origami 'Experience'. The Origami Experience is more like a user-friendly, on-the-go style of mobile computing, instead of the usual running a copy of Windows on a super small PC.

I like Origami (unlike some people) and can't wait to try it.]]>Jan 11th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/
I don't think I'll any UMPC, because it's smaller than a notebook, but to large to fit in a pocket. Maybe one day when they fit it in an iPhone size, and I don't think I'm alone?]]>Jan 11th 2008 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/
Not me. The iPhone is just too small for any kind of satisfying computing experience (although, now that I've typed it, I'm not entirely sure what that phrase means). The nice thing about a UMPC is that you can slip it into a briefcase or messenger bag and carry it around, unlike a laptop which forces you to carry around a separate bag for it and all its plugs and adapters and whatnot.

It's really just a pushbutton front end. There's nothing really clever or innovative - nothing that *improves* the user experience or makes using the computer easier or even more enjoyable for the most part.

Like I said - they have to go talk to the Surface people and see what they're doing. A touchscreen PC can't do everything a Surface can, but some of the ideas there can be migrated to touch.]]>Jan 11th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/

This whole article, because of that little jab, just smacks of rudeness and arrogance and a predispotion against what you are "reviewing" -- it's like every day I come to this site the articles get worse and more biased. You're out trolling some guy on the floor to get a laugh at him about something that isn't even his product. Congratulations on being a jerk.]]>Jan 11th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/Jan 11th 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/The video looks pretty cool. I like the concept of the origami...i don't think they've hit exactly what i'm looking for but they are getting close. My gripe is Windows vista UI as is isn't made for small portable touchscreen electronics. Such devices really need a more customized UI to make it user friendly. This looks like a step in the right direction and looks like quite a bit of thought was put into it. I'd like to see some tweaks to make Office app's more touchscreen friendly. With the ribbons it lends itself a little more. ]]>Jan 11th 2008 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/11/video-hands-on-with-microsofts-origami-experience-2-0/
