Its vapor ware because you are not holding the ACTUAL DEVICE in your hand idiot.

Anyways the prototypes that MS had at its booth ranged from ultraslim/sexy to huge and brick like fugly.

I wonder how fast, smooth, and responsive a Windows Tablet will actual feel and perform?

I think I made the right decision though in not buying an iPad (as much as I want to). Things are getting PRETTY interesting in the tablet arena.

1) Windows Tablet
2) HPalm webOS Tablet
3) Meego Tablets

Those are the real contenders. I can't wait to compare and contrast all 3 with the iPad.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/
Microsoft can't ship a product. cos microsoft is a software company! That's their core and the more they venture into hardware, the more they fail. They are not Apple that does everything themselves. understand that.

They make OS for others, that's their primary goal. Tell Dell and HP and Sony to Ship a Product!]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/Jun 2nd 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/Jun 2nd 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/
That said, most of the common use scenarios are covered with 3rd party programs (e.g. TCPMP), and WinEC7 will presumably come with editors for MS Office, as pervious versions have. With Silverlight and Flash added to .Net, it hopefully does mean that there will be more 3rd party software which will run on these devices. And IE7 embedded is much more capable than previous iterations of the IE embedded, so web apps will hopefully also work.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/

Also, would like to port this to my iPad! :D

If I could download it, I'd just remote desktop to it, but I'm not so sure the touch experience would still be there.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/

If it can't even do such basic things, then its no better than the iPad, and no replacement for a fully functional netbook which are due to not only remain small but get very thin with more convertible tablets hitting the market so that you have a tactile keyboard when needed that doesn't take up half the screen.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/Jun 2nd 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/Oh, hello...

Windows desktop market share is somewhere in the region of 92% world-wide. So to take what you suggested literally, it would be pretty much impossible for their growth to expand any further, seeing as they already control the vast majority of the market. Admittedly Windows Phone is haemorrhaging market share, but then it's a very old OS that's getting a refresh this year. That should see a quick turnaround in that arena. As for Windows CE, this isn't a new OS, it's yet another upgrade to an existing OS, so I don't see why their focus should be lacking any more than it has done for the last decade or so.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microsoft-windows-embedded-compact-7-explained-trial-download-n/

The only mobile OS that belongs on a tablet is android. MS have gone the right way about this.
