MS Releases the tablet PC and you guys have a field day putting the thing down. "I type faster so why bother?" "it's too big" "i already have a PDA" "What a peice of crap"
Now there's a linux version and you have an intelligent conversation about the possibilities.
This is why i could care less about Linux. for such an 'open' community, you certainly are closed minded. If you could only stop being so rotten eggs about everything MS. The attitude on Linux champions has no attraction.
I appears to me that you are comparing the tablet pc to a PDA or a Laptop. It's both, plus it docks like a PC if you want to type or with some of the units you just flip to keyboard around. Certainly it's larger than a PDA, but it's aimed at the in-between users who function off a clipboard or who travel. I can't see any reason to buy a laptop again after attenting the launch. To have those kind of features available to you on your laptop is just a bonus. It's pressure sensitive so it's fun to draw, and the handwriting software was very impressive.
