Glad to help, Adrian. They sure do make the options confusing!

Alas, not so. There's only one XGA panel that is multitouch (stylus/finger).
All the SXGA+ tablets are stylus only.

I haven't really compared the battery life between the different OSes.
64-bit Vista is telling me it has about 2.5 hours on a full charge of the
4-cell battery at a medium display brightness, plus or minus 15 minutes at
the lowest or highest brightness.

Does the ultralight display use LED backlighting? I don't recall seeing
anything about that, but I don't know one way or the other.
