The message you refer to is a caution rather than an error message.

Only a couple of older apps do not work in 2003 devices due to their use
of undocumented "hooks" that are no longer avaiable.

Of the thirty or so apps that I use regularly on 2003se, only one is
written specifically for the .NET environment.

I just ordered the X50V. I'm concerened about the speed also. It seems the
VGA is really slowing it down. Even with the 16 meg of video ram. Hopefully
WM05 will help fix this problem.
