News from the Trenches
It has been way too long since I posted - we got a note from a reader last week who said we should either post more or pull down the site. Thanks for the reminder, we get so caught up in the day to day of shipping that important things like blogging don't make it far enough up the to-do list.
The Tablet PC team has their collective nose to the grindstone - we're pushing like crazy to polish up all our Tablet features for Vista. I have two Vista machines that I use daily, one always running the latest and greatest and an X41T running beta 2. I said adios XP two months ago and have been pretty happy, sure there are lots of beta issues, but I can get my work done as or more productively than with XP. And for the odd occasioon that I do boot into XP, I really really miss Flicks, panning and the improved TIP/reco.
Speaking of reco... how many of you out there have tried the handwriting personalization? Personally I find the 1/50 label on the first page somewhat discouraging, 50 pages or training! I've gotten through about 20 so far. That said I was happy to find out that there is a secret feature in beta 2 that allows personalization to kick in after about 10 screens of training or so. I'll track down someone who can post more details on this.
