Linux On Your Tablet PC

tyman writes "Michael Rolig has created a Debian-based linux package for your Tablet PC. The support for various tablet features is limited by the features on the tablet Rolig owns, such as the "half-working" pen button features. One important missing feature is the screen-swivel buttons common with most tablets. However this is a good start for the development of linux for Tablet PCs."

no worries

if you can afford a tablet pc, when xp tablet edition is pretty awesome and well-tested and integrated with other existing microsoft products?

here's the thing about open source - as soon as it becomes big, and still rule the world.

sure, linux and mozilla and everything else open-source is pretty cool, but how hard would it be for microsoft to emulate the best of open source's features and integrate it with every other microsoft product? not very hard, especially when you have billions of dollars and some of the world's best programmers that .

unless there's something intrinsically better about open-source products, the movement will die as soon as people realize they're getting paid nothing and will always be paid nothing to create an inferior product.

but don't worry, microsoft's monopoly power is waning so we really have nothing to worry about. in five years, they'll be a good corporate citizen and everyone will be happy. trust me. ^_-
