Microsoft's Channel9 Adds Ink to Forums?

An anonymous reader asks: "Microsoft's Channel9 forums now support handwritten and hand-drawn comments. The ink comments are displayed as GIF images so anyone can see them, but to add your own message you must use IE and either a Tablet PC or have the Tablet PC SDK installed. Apparently Microsoft is going to make the source code available for the new feature so other sites can add ink support too. Will we be seeing more ink enabled forums in the future, or is Channel9's ink a novelty that will soon be forgotten?"

    Enable drawings in posts and it'll be a stream of badly drawn pictures of knobs, you know it.

    As someone who tries to use his mod points carefully, and so "Browses at -1 to keep an eye out for abuses.", I don't know if I could face it!
