Hello all

We have some Toshiba Protege M200 Tablet PC's which we want to install
for some reason (SUS Service) with Software which requires this OS.

The thing is I cannot find appropriate drivers for this system ...
Q: is it possible at all that we can run this Server OS on this Laptop
with all the functionallity of a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition?

Thanks, Armin

I think the best you'll be able to do, prior to Longhorn*, is to
dual-boot Tablet OS and W2003 Server, the latter forgoing Tablet
functionality.

No, there is not, and why would you want to install SUS on a tablet in
the first place?

You can't even add tablet functionality to Windows XP without a Tablet
Edition Product Key, so adding it to Windows 2003 is even less feasible.

Seems like a real waste of resources to use a tablet for something like this.
Why not just some cheap desktop or cheap laptop that won't lose

This still doesn't make any sense to me. I really don't understand what
your goal is here. What is a single board computer, and what do you mean
by wanting to "sus" them? SUS is designed to be a method to have a
central location to distribute updates to multiple computers. If all you
want to do is to update a single computer, that's what Automatic Updates
are for. No need for SUS.

Nearly everything except the recognizers are actually built into Windows
Server 2003, but the input panel and recognizers are missing, so all you get
is digital ink support in applications designed for it.
Note however that many ink enabled application will give you access to these
features only when installed on a Tablet PC OS, whether or not your OS
includes the components.
A better solution if you really need both would be using Windows XP Tablet
PC edition as your OS, and Windows Server 2003 in a Virtual PC on top of it
(add 1GB of RAM to your tablet pc to start with).
