ProgMan.exe

It's not in the latest 5308 build - .17 or .60.

Hello!

It seems that ProgMan.exe (Program Manager) will be replaced
with "Program Launcher"
http://origamiproject.com/blogs/team...6/03/08/4.aspx

We announced the Microsoft Touch Pack which is a new set of software built
exclusively for UMPCs. That means only OEMs who ship UMPCs can preinstall
the Touch Pack.

Cheers, Roman

Not quite... the Touch Pack is a seperate program for Origami devices -
Progman will not be returning for Vista ;o)

In theory, because XP has Progman, the Origami will technically have it as
well, but it's 16-bit and pretty much useless.

Doesn't seem to launch in Windows XP either...

But, if possible, and within financial capabilities, Microsoft should
remove legacy elements such as this...
