Re: Further development on Windows?

Sorry. Actually the UX is the only Sony product I own. Sony has discontinued the UX line now. I only have the UX because a friend offered it to me at a low price. I do love it (I am writing this note sitting in my recliner, holding the UX in my left hand and “typing” on the Fitaly virtual keyboard with a silver stylus.)

Bert, Thank you for the reply.
I understand that you use VAIO UX. It was because you mentioned it at Pimlical forum that I heard about UX. Then, I visited Sony site to see it. I also saw the VAIO "P". As a teacher, I am not as mobile as you are (perhaps), but still I like more portable laptop rather than the 'full' size as the one I have. I must be wrong thinking that you were Sony-product fanatic (in GOOD sense, of course). That was why after seeing VAIO "P" , I thought "Perhaps, Bert has experience concerning with this product too." 

Thank you.
