Keep taking the...

Tablet PC day today. Several lucky people here get all the new toys; Matt has been using one of the Acer machines daily for a while. Cute meta-laptops.

Tablet is really quite important, in an incremental way (which is why I think it may succeed where others have failed). Of course one of Microsoft's great strengths is in lowering "transition cost", making disruptive changes more palatable; with the Tablet edition of XP, ink arrives incrementally. Already there are signs of some really good applications; vertical solutions for healthcare, of course, but also some fun games and demonstrators. And Groove. Groove is such a good fit to the platform.
