Mister Buttons writes "There really haven't been any real technical reviews of the new Tablet PC operating system from Microsoft yet.

    "Does anyone else out there have the same feeling I do, that the Tablet PC is over hyped? The only tangible benefit I can really see is totally comfort motivated."

    Hey now, Geordi LaForge maintained the starship Enterprise with these things. Overhyped indeed!
