An ill-matched OS
Windows Vista is a poor match for any notebook with aspirations towards portability, but putting a hardware hog like this on a netbook such as HP's 2133 Mini Note (above) and, particularly, a UMPC like HTC's Shift is bordering on madness. When notebooks get small, the OS should be Linux or, if Windows is required, XP. Thankfully, Windows 7 looks as though it will perform better on smaller, lower-spec notebooks.
