"Forcing me to use vista should be illegal"
Pros: Great hardware, good battery life.
Cons: Worst operating system ever!
Summary: When If first decided to fork over the $1000 to get this unit I had to go through 3 boxes before Micro-center gave me one that had not been a repackaged unit?..
Always Always Always check your screen for dead pixels! If I had not done that on the way out of the store I would have discovered that they had repackaged the laptop when I got all the way home.... Microcenter had their logons on both units we went through?It took me 45 minutes to get out of the store with a new unit.
The other thing is this. I had to really grind away on the unit to get it where it was fairly serviceable. Windows vista is a flaming piece of garbage that seems to be windows ME reincarnated.
I have had one hell of a time trying to find windows xp tablet edition ?and I plan to remove vista as it is the worst os I have ever seen.
What is good is I was able to boot from a cd rom using my own external usb cdrom. That I put together from an external cd rom case I got from fry's ?I did how ever change the boot priority in bios to the cd rom device as the first boot device.... To get to the bios just press fn and f2 a couple times during reboot. And you can figure it out from there?.
I plan to order tablet edition xp from new egg and I suggest that those of you who hate vista do the same?.
With vista on this machine I can not control my telescope or run any of the software that I legally purchased. I can not plug in my telescope?s usb camera or even run my lcars desktop beta without a crash. I cant even plug in my stamp 2 programmer! It wont talk to it.
In short: Microsoft is trying to push vista on everyone. Its is almost impossible to find xp tablet in the stores I have checked the entire dfw area. Nobody has it that I could find. That is stupid. Because more and more people will switch over to MAC or Linux if they keep forcing the issue. I know I will, and I work in IT? NOBODY likes vista except for aolers and dorks.
Here is a tip Fujitsu people. Dump vista, this type of unit appeals to I.t. people and geeks and we don?t like vista the term we use a lot is. UPGRADE TO XP.!

Thanks for the aritcule, I've already installed the windows xp and it's much (MUCH) faster now. I still have problems installing the drivers (the buttons and the pen are not working well). But if I solve that issue I'll keep windowss XP. I'll keep searching for help on installing the drivers
