Few days back Microsoft announced the next version of touchpack named the “Origami Experience™“. The origami team has posted various screen shots and on10 has a video of the same. Sure they have made a lot of improvements, some of the tools are available only on Vista, may be that’s the reason its only for Vista.
Origami Experience™ is the newer, cooler, more functional version of the Program Launcher. Not only can you quickly open your programs, files, folders, or websites, but now you can now easily access your media content. Last but not least, we’ve listened to your feedback, and integrated all of the configuration tools directly into the application. No more extra applets to manage!
Okay, so enough intro. On to the good stuff [...]

Microsoft today announced the Origami Experience, yes a replacement for the existing Touchpack(only on Vista though)
The purpose of Origami Experience™ is to deliver a great device-like media interface on your UMPC. It also allows you to quickly access other applications on your UMPC such as Windows Switcher, Mobility Center, Wireless Connectivity and all your installed programs.
You’ll notice the User Interface (UI) is arranged with Music, Videos, Pictures and Programs. Since the launch of the first UMPC devices we’ve learned that people love using their UMPCs for web browsing and media playback. Fortunately the web browsing experience is pretty good on these already, in part thanks to IE 7. We felt to really create a great media experience though we should write an interface that has been completely designed from the UMPC and touch displays. As you can see in the screenshot above, all of the buttons are easily targeted with your finger.
The Origami team says it would be available for download on Jan 30, May be because that’s when Medion UMPC will be out.

For those of you who bought your Asus R2H and are eligible for the FREE Vista Express Upgrade program, go ahead and redeem it.
When you buy a qualifying Windows Vista Capable PC between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007, you may be eligible for an Express Upgrade to Windows Vista.
Too bad I ordered mine on 25th of Oct! I guess you might receive it only when the rest of the world would.
