Making the ViewSonic Tablet PC Run Linux

This article is a good example as to how a manufacturer's words during tech support will be used against it. Plus their poor support reflects on the Tablet PC concept as a whole.

Hopefully, Microsoft is paying attention and realizes that there is an opportunity in this story regarding people who need the Tablet PC OS replaced with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. After all, the issue with this author is Windows 98, and the new generation Tablet PCs are shipped with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, an OS that is not available separately.

Yes, it would be difficult to provide a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition that would work with this older hardware. However, Microsoft could become a hero by taking the time to build an upgrade OS for "stranded" Tablet PC users.

Otherwise, my concern is this type of story will unnecessarily proliferate when it is a curable event.
