Shows it running Windows. Probably wont have an officially supported Linux distribution, then. Too bad.

Some day we'll look back and say, "Can you believe that it used to be almost impossible to buy a computer without windows on it?!"]]>Jan 19th 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/
No operating system will ever reach the level of hardware support that linux will have in 4 months anyway. OSX? Nowhere /near/ it, even if they did license it like they _should_.
Yes. XP will never reach that level of hardware support. Vista will never reach that level of hardware support. I am completely serious.

Asking if Windows can run on the PS3 is like asking if the Black Knight can ride a dragon.

So if you don't have anything to say about 7-A or 5-D, buzz off. ]]>Jan 19th 2008 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/ You didn't clarify who you were addressing, so I will assume it was me. The hardware is shown to be using windows. At that point, it immediately becomes about Apple for me. Unfortunately, I have to assume that if the manufacturer makes cool new hardware and doesn't offer Linux, it will be a full time hobby to make it work. I am not just shooting off. I'm an engineer, a developer, and a MythTV Hacker. I'm not the guy who whines when something is difficult. I research, tweak, and code until I get it to work. But now I'm fresh out of free time.

I can't imagine using it without keyboard shortcuts and mouse pointer (I use the pen too sometimes). Computer programs for Windows OS have been designed for and heavily rely on keyboard shortcuts and mouse pointer. Some frequently used examples in my case are: ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-a, ctrl-f, F11, space (scrolling), shift-space, page down/up, ESC, alt-tab, ctr-tab, shift-click, etc. So if I were using this machine (and a lot of other newly announced UMPCs) I had to keep the slider open all the time. So if it's going to be open all the time why sliding.]]>Jan 19th 2008 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/Jan 19th 2008 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/Jan 19th 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/19/inventecs-umpc-7-a-and-5-d-get-pictured/
I don't want my computers to even remotely support that crap...
