Longhorn to continue tablet support | |

Microsoft believes in the future of tablet computing because it combines all the benefits of portability with the richness of ink and the ability to read off the screen directly, says chairman and chief architect Bill Gates. “This has been a major investment for us. It's something we totally believe in,” Gates told delegates at the opening of this year's Windows hardware engineering conference (WinHEC) in Seattle earlier this week. Gates reiterated his view of the past few years that tablet PCs extend portable PC functionality by enabling users to take handwritten notes and annotate documents with digital ink. | ||

I'm very glad to see this. Specialization among the OS super-sets is a very welcome direction Microsoft has taken. We provide systems, networks, software and managed services for many privately held professional service firms - medical, legal, specialized finance and accounting, and engineering, etc...
The tablet PC, is among the most popular platforms for these professionals. One can take a busy physician who not only practices, but is also the corporate leader for an association of providers, a home, a working vacation home and several professional association locations and easily see why one would need a platform that moves with him and supports input that does not get in the way of what he does most often - care for people, and fellow workers. The Tablet PC and a fist full of docking stations in the case above provided for a really good solution that works very well. Certainly a broad mix of systems and networks - roaming profiles, secure, remote Exchange, etc... add to a good solution, but systems like the Tablet PC that focus on specific types of users can provide a lot of incremental value. |
