And then there was Dell. In a notable step for Microsoft's Tablet PC business, the company that bought IBM's personal computer division plans to bring it into the tablet-computing market -- leaving industry leader Dell Computer the lone Tablet PC holdout among the world's top five portable computer makers. The move by Lenovo will create a variety of the well-known ThinkPad portable computers that will use the special pen-based version of Microsoft's Windows operating system. But Dell reiterated last week that it doesn't yet consider the Tablet PC market big enough to enter.
