Intel explains: MID vs. UMPC

From Engadget, a short Intel explanation on the differences between MIDs and UMPCs.




UMPC

• Business-class device for enterprise users
  
• Runs a "heavy" OS like Vista
• Optimized for office-use applications like Excel, Word, etc.
  

MID

• Consumer-class lifestyle device
• Runs a 'lightweight" OS with quick startup like Linux
• Optimized for things like media playback and web surfing
• In 2009 (or so) Moorestown-based devices will be classed as MIDs only

Hmm. So how do we classify the Asus Eee PC again?
