Today Microsoft have released the next version of Origami Experience, version 2.0. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Origami, it is a software suite that is built on-top of the operating system and is specifically designed for Ultra Mobile PCs (PCs with screens smaller than 7 inchs).

Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 contains these four programs for an ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) running Windows Vista:

• Origami Central
  Central gives you instant access to all your media, programs, and the Internet, with the touch of a finger.
• Origami Now
  Now gives you one-touch access to the most important information at any given time and place.
• Origami Picture Password
  With a Picture Password, you can log on to Windows and unlock your computer by tapping a sequence of targets on a picture, instead of typing a password.
• Touch Settings
  Touch Settings combines several settings in Windows Vista into one place to make it easier to customize a touch screen.

I’ve been using OE 2.0 on my OQO e2 for 6 weeks now and have loved it, it’s definately worth a try if you’re a UMPC or Tablet PC user
