I've done the upgrade and have found overall it works quite well. Most of
the programs I've used have just worked; the one that didn't work very well
has since come out with an update that addressed the issue.

I don't like how Microsoft chose to implement some of the VGA features; the
Menu bar and status bar stay the same size, thus wasting a lot of room. The
ability to switch between landscape and portrait mode "on the fly", however,
is nice. I also like the fact that the OS detects applications which can't
effectively run in 640x480 mode, and pixel doubles them so they stay full
screen.

The one complaint I have for PPC 2003SE is that it takes much longer to
boot.

I've been using the 2003 SE update on my Toshiba e800 for a couple of weeks
now and it's working great with a couple of minor noticeable exceptions no
one else yet mentioned...

Periodically after viewing emails using the "Messaging" application, when I
go back to the "Today" screen, the portion of that screen which shows how
many emails are present is white except for the messaging icon on the left
side of the screen. Everything else is intact on the Today screen... just
that white bar where the number of messages and account name should appear.
Once this occurs, the only way to restore the screen back to normal is
through a soft-reset.

Before the upgrade, I was using Resco's keyboard application with it's nice
looking and customizable keyboards. After the upgrade I found their
keyboard wouldn't always stay docked at the bottom of the screen, but would
sometimes appear about halfway up the screen. Closing their keyboard and
then reopening it would make it properly re-dock at the bottom where it
belonged. But it would easily un-dock again when switching applications,
etc. This got annoying enough that I uninstalled it and have been using
the default keyboard that comes with 2003 SE. But I'm sure Resco will come
out with an updated keyboard someday.

I really like the resolution of the VGA screen... pretty amazing for such a
small device.
