It seemed to me the U-70 would be perfect to install the Tablet OS on and convert it into a true Tablet PC. The Tablet OS has been designed from the ground up for mobile pen and ink devices and the U certainly fits that bill. The only way you can obtain the Tablet OS to install on the U is through an MSDN subscription. I have a membership so obtaining it was no problem. The Tablet OS is a superset of the Windows XP OS and the installation is just like a typical OS install. Microsoft has released a public RC of Windows XP SP2 which included a major enhancement to the Tablet OS for those devices that have the Tablet OS installed so after installing the basic Tablet OS I installed SP2. Once that finished I installed all the Sony drivers and programs that are specific to the U-70 and everything works like a charm. The only caveat for anyone installing a clean OS on the U- Sony includes drivers for the Synaptics track point that take over the USB ports for any device you try to install after the Synaptics. The workaround is to install all USB devices you want prior to installing the Synaptics ones. If you want to install other USB devices later you can uninstall the Synaptics drivers from the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS utility, install your USB device (and driver), and then reinstall the Synaptics driver. It seems as if NVIDIA has had a long road to hoe in the Mobile market since the release of the Mobility Radeon 9700 by ATI; its current mobile GPUs simply can’t compete with regards to overall performance. ATI can attribute much of its success to its sheer experience with mobile graphics; after all they’ve been leading the market for well over a decade now. Chock up that with the development and deployment of industry-leading desktop GPU technology which filters down into laptops and you have the makings for what simply screams “Market leader”. | |
