It's certainly enticing, that's for sure. I use a Dell XPS M1210 when i travel and while i love the size, for bumming around NYC I'd love to jump down to something even smaller as long as it can handle the basics. These Mini's look like a great option but i have to agree with skhills, the 16GB HD is a deal breaker. Doubling to just 32GB would probably be enough to put my finger on the trigger but as is, it's sadly not a real option.

Good call on showing this aspect of Vista. Another example of how, if you know what you're doing, you can really get into the guts of things and tweak it just how you like. I've been doing this for a while, customizing the Gadgets i use to work with my desktop themes. It's actually pretty fun to browse through Gadgets and look for potential, not just functionality.
