besides the knowledge and the potential benefits of that, yes

I now know that a little "laptop" with that tablet pc version of
windows xp is not crippled to only being able to run a low requirement
version of windows..(infact it isn't running a low req version!)
And, as I suspected, a machine running it isn't going to have some
weird architecture processor that can only run special OSs written for
it. like a Pocket PC (which wikipedia says is an "ARM based" CPUs
running Windows CE - which is of course a low requirement edition of
windows, which also suggests a very low power machine). So i'm glad to
know it isn't like Windows CE! The tablet pc(or ultra portable or
whatever, running the tablet edition of windows xp) is a little
computer but a proper one!
