I have a hptx1000 tablet & I was able to download the equation writer (part of the "Experience Pack" for vista from the microsoft website just last week. I even was able to use my firefox browser! Normally for microsoft I've had to switch to IE browser to pass the validation.

First you have to download the "validation tool", run the little program which gives you a code... then enter the code into the same browser window. That'll bring you back to what looks like the same first page, only now instead of "Continue: validation required" it says "download".
The first time I tried to download it my internet connection died in the middle & I was unable to restart it. I had to delete the partial download, restart my computer and only then was I able to get the download going again.

The other cool think you can download for your vista tablet is "Ink Desktop" which allows you to write notes/reminders on your desktop right over your wallpaper.

I installed Vista service pack 1 AFTER I downloaded all these goodies.
