Chapter 04:
Using Your Sahara Slate PC with Windows XP
While your Sahara Slate PC is a power mobile computer capable
of accomplishing all the same tasks as a laptop or a desktop PC,
there are some differences in the way that you interact
with Windows using a stylus pen as opposed to a mouse
and keyboard. This chapter contains tips and details to get the
most from your Sahara Slate PC while using Windows XP.
Windows XP Professional Edition or Tablet PC Edition?
The two different editions of Windows XP that can come
preinstalled on the Sahara Slate PC are the Professional and
Tablet PC Editions. Both editions are based on the same
operating core, and thus can run all the same applications. Tablet
PC Edition, however, has certain additional features that are
designed specifically to enhance the Tablet PC user’s day-to-day
Windows computing experience.
Be sure to read the booklet entitled “
Windows XP Tablet PC
Edition 2005 Start Here
” that came with your Sahara Slate PC for
more information about these exclusive features.
You should know which edition of Windows XP you are
running to avoid any confusion while reading this chapter. To
find out which edition you are currently running on your
Sahara Slate PC:

Tap on the START button with your stylus pen to open the
