Lycoris Announces Desktop/LX Tablet Edition

There are several screenshots in the tour, and it looks like a really polished system, including some of the things that you'd really need in a Tablet, like the virtual keyboard, actually working. It appears according to one page that there are already Tablets in production by some manufacturer, too. So much for Bill Gates and his vision of only Microsoft on a Tablet, eh?"

Your saying that a commericial version of Linux is popular. I laugh just hearing the words Linux and popular in the same context, but throw in the commericial fact and it should make you want to fall out of your chair.

I think they seriously forgot something... I didn't see any mention of handwriting recognition.
Without that, it defeats the whole point of a tablet PC. That silly onscreen keyboard makes it slower to enter data at the expense of wearing out the touchscreen and taking up screen realestate.

It's really quite useless like this.
