Tablet PC news...
Hi chaps,
I spent the day at Microsoft Campus in Reading today at various briefings
etc...
One of the things I saw (and played with), was one of the new "Tablet
PC's"
running Windows XP tablet edition...
One piece of bad news for anyone thinking of/intending to use one of these
for HA is...
Active Digitiser...
this means that the touch interface absolutely does NOT work (at all) with
a
finger, it MUST use the supplied pen, which contains the hardware for the
touch tablet to detect.. (and weirdly, it detects it up to about 10mm away
>from
This feature is, I'm told, NOT a hardware vendor's choice, but is part of
the Microsoft "Tablet PC" standard, and is therefore a
requirement for the
Tablet PC logo programme, and a precondition for running Windows XP tablet
edition...
bummer huh!

Oh, and the worldwide launch is on November 7th if anyone still wants
one...
