New computer on the way


I ordered a new tablet pc today. It is a fujitsu lifebook T900 with a dual digitizer. I am looking forward to getting it, and checking it out. I will post a review of it after I work with it for awhile and have a feel for it.

It will have windows 7 professional installed, so that will be an interesting experience.  Everyone that I know that has Windows 7 is better than Vista and way better than XP.

X41T with Vista update


I finally have all of the software I want onto the laptop and it is still faster than it was with XP, the battery life is better than before, and it is more stable. I wish I had done it months ago.

The handwriting detection is much better and the interface is smother.  I like the speech recognition software that is built in, it works well on this older hardware. It would be nice to try it on newer, faster hardware.

Update on Vista on my x41 tablet


I have learned I have to be selective about the gadgets I install on the sidebar. I had one slow the system to a crawl until I removed it.  Office runs fast and smooth on my system now and Vista seems to be better at power management than XP was. I was able to run the system for four hours off the battery browsing the web, using word and onenote, and installing software and updates and got down to 20% battery. I am currently installing service pack 2 for Vista.

I feel it is worth the effort to install Vista onto the Lenovo x41 tablet if you do a clean install.  Be prepared to invest some time in the project and due not start it when you need the computer.

Installing Vista on my X41 Tablet


I have installed Vista onto my laptop. So far I am pleased with it, the system is faster and smother than XP ever was. I am still working on installing the software I need for school and other projects.

I will update when I have everything installed with a report on the performance of the system.

I have already discovered that, though possible, the upgrade path is a bad idea. I ended up with an unstable system that would not maintain a network connection of any kind and other minor issues. They were enough to require a clean install.

It has been a long time since I have done a clean, ground up installation of a system with all the software and had forgotten how long it takes to install all the software and updates.
