Arthur,

One of the teachers at the local technical college (Fox Valley Technical
College in Appleton, WI) came in at the tail-end of one of the evening
classes I'm taking to show Windows 8 to our instructor.  This guy had a
4-year-old tablet PC -- with the swiveling monitor that can lay flat for pen
input -- that looked as if it had been dragged behind a car.  But, by golly,
it ran the dev edition of Windows 8. I thought it was very interesting.
 Apparently, the handwriting recognition is phenomenal.  My instructor
scratched out a few words and I saw his eyebrows go up as Windows correctly
deciphered his words as fast as he wrote them.

Clearly Microsoft is pursuing the entire mobile market.

Regards,

Steve Erbach
Neenah, WI
