I know I've mentioned this before... I'd like to see a mini-Tablet, running XP, but with the Pocket PC GUI on top of it (or a similar GUI, tailored to the small screen). This would be the best of both worlds -- compatibility with the millions of XP applications, but able to use the small screen well, at least with those applications designed to use the new GUI.
The way I see it working is much like XP Media Center Edition, where you have the secondary "10 foot" GUI in place for the new applications that use it, but still have the "regular" XP GUI in place for those that don't. I think that Microsoft ought expand that notion into a "Pocket" GUI for the mini-tablets, and in fact, could take it in other directions as well. Another one may be a simplified (and safer) version of the GUI for kids. Or perhaps a "game" GUI that looks and works like the Xbox GUI for games.
There are many possibilities.
