Here is an article with a youtube video of an Intel MID tablet booting XP:

It's hellishly slow - the demonstrator even thinks the battery has died mid way through the boot, hehe!

The device itself looks very nice though - "runs on cell phone batteries" (hopefully just the one!) and lasts "4 to 6 hours". This could be huge in 2008 for Intel and if (big if) the battery figures for the Intel 45nm CPU are correct it could give ARM cores a run for their money.

Nokia, start talking to AMD and see what low power x86 processors they have up their sleeves!!!
