    upgrade options to vista

    my current laptop has windows XP tablet PC edition on it. i got it with XP
    on it since i want to wait a while to upgrade to vista, either that or i
    want to do a dual boot between XP and vista. either way, when i purchased my
    notebook, there was an option to buy it with vista enterprise edition, and i
    was wondering if anyone knows where i can purchase that version of vista,
    instead of getting ultimate or business edition.

    Windows Vista Enterprise is only available to Volume License customers with
    Enterprise Agreement and Software Assurance.

    If you need Tablet PC functionality, Windows Vista Business or Ultimate will
    do just fine, even the Home Premium edition includes Tablet functionality. I
    assume you might connect to a corporate network, thats why I recommended
    Vista Business since XP Tablet PC edition is a subset of XP Professional.

    Re: upgrade options to vista

    well, in business and home premium i cannot use the TPM security chip that
    is installed in my PC. and i have no idea if ultimate edition supports
    virtualization technologies. i think it might though. i think it should
    though since that feature was found in the BIOS of my PC. having it enabled
    makes my PC run faster if enterprise is only availible in volume licensing
    than i think i might go with ultimate edition because of the TPM security
    chip. i also want the ultimate extras i guess...

    when is vists service pack 1 supposed to come out?

    Re: upgrade options to vista

    i have a tc4400. it is very good. better than the other tablet that i have
    used or seen on the market by so much. here is the product page for the
    tc4400.

    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en...5-1847962.html

    if you want any additional info about the product after looking at the
    product page, feel free to ask me. i studied the ducumentation inside and
    out before buying it and plus i asked HP tons of questions about it before
    buying it as well about anythingthing that i did not see in the
    documentation or on the general product page.

    one of the nice things about this notebook is that it has a PCMCIA card slot
    onstead of a ExpessCard slot.

    Re: TPM security

    its interesting about how u can use the bitlocker security without the
    security chip. by the way business edition does not have full support for
    the TPM security chip.

    Re: TPM security

    Without the TPM chip, Bitlocker can store the encryption key on
    a removable USB flash drive. Or, you can enter a very long password
    every time you boot up.

    Yes, Bitlocker is only included in the Ultimate and Enterprise versions.
    I think that's sort of silly, considering most businesses will be using the
    Business version, and they are the ones most likely who would want to
    use Bitlocker. Oh well.

    Re: vista

    yea, and i think it is a good feature. but for nor XP is more stable.
    vista's extra security features are not worth the trouble of the reliability
    issues and stuff.

    i beta tested vista and i thought the beta was more reliable than the final
    release in many ways for some odd reason. i had a tx1000z with vista
    ultimate on it for about a week, but i returned it since vista had so many
    issues on it. i beta tested vista on a zd8000.

    in my opinion, vista only does good for certian types of computers, like
    media center computers that have very good video cards and stuff.

    i beta tested vista on a 7 year old laptop and it worked just fine, except
    for windows areo missing....of caurse then that pc had a sucky graphics
    card, but had a dual hard drive configuration and an external DVD drive when
    running vista. i added a 2nd hard drive to the PC so that i could beta test
    vista on it. the main hard drive was only 20GB and i wanted to keep windows
    XP pro on the computer and plus i knew that i could run the DVD drive
    externally.

    Re: vista

    I haven't used BitLocker since the Vista betas. Then, I was using
    BitLocker to protect Vista's restore points from XP's volsnap.sys.
    In dual-booting Vista and XP, XP would wipe out Vista's restore
    points. Since I made the final transition to Vista on three of my
    machines, I no longer use BitLocker. I do have one laptop that
    still has WinXP Pro. It's my true "mobile" laptop and the one that
    I will probably use BitLocker on *if* I convert it to Vista.

    I know that I can be a bit harsh on Microsoft and Vista, at times-
    but, for the most part, my Vista machines work fine. I admit that
    I've been messing around with Vista for about a year and half, and
    have an advantage those just encountering Vista do not.
    However, none of my Vista machines are brand new. They all had
    XP Pro on them prior to converting them to Vista. Two desktops
    and a two year old Gateway laptop.
    My newish computer is my mobile laptop with XP Pro.


    Take care,

    Michael
