blezinko, Here's a bit more on the Tablet PC. I think this will be a huge business for MSFT some day. Notice that there are lots of hardware manufacturers that seem to agree with me, and, notice that this is the same business model as MSFT has with these partners already. Only MSFT makes the OS for the tablet PC at this time. << After years of touting the concept of tablet PCs, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates shows off several devices and supporting software--Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition ---during his keynote address at Comdex Fall 2001. If tech led the economy into this recession, it can lead it back out said Bill Gates during the first keynote speech of Comdex 2001 The device, unveiled as a concept last year, was shown in prototype form Sunday with examples from Compaq Computer, NEC, Toshiba, Intel and others. One of the devices resembled an Etch A Sketch, while another looked more like a notebook PC with a screen that could be rotated to sit on top of the keyboard. Others were almost small enough to be considered handhelds. >> zdnet.com
