    ok, so you installed your touchscreen.. *hooray*..! now what..?

    other than the drag add-on for firefox i cant seem to find any other cool addons

    anyone got any new software that can recognise hand gestures? (like the iphone) or that when you keep holding the stylus on screen the right click pops up, or a menu comes up or something?

    thanks :)

    P.S: Im using WIN XP

    or either Vista or Windows 7, which have the windows tablet features built in.

    Q3: What does Windows XP Tablet PC Edition include that Microsoft Windows XP Professional does not?

    A3: Windows XP Tablet PC Edition includes everything that is available in Windows XP Professional, and the following additional features:
    • Pen Input: Tablet PCs include digital pens that you use to control the computer and to write text in your own handwriting.
    • Tablet PC Input Panel: Input Panel is an on-screen keyboard and writing pad. With Input Panel, you can type text without your standard keyboard.
    • Microsoft Windows Journal: Windows Journal turns your Tablet PC into a writing pad.
    • Microsoft Sticky Notes: You can use Sticky Notes to create and manage short handwritten or voice notes in the same manner that you would keep a stack of paper sticky notes.
    • Handwriting Recognition and Conversion: You can write in your own handwriting, and then convert it to typed text.
    • Speech Recognition: Tablet PCs have built-in speech-recognition capabilities.
    • Document Annotation: You can annotate imported documents with a Tablet PC pen.
    • Reading: Your Tablet PC uses Microsoft ClearType technology and a high-resolution display.
    • Screen Rotation: You can quickly rotate your screen for landscape or portrait viewing.
    • Gestures: You can use your Tablet PC pen to make "gestures." "Gestures" are movements with the pen that complete common tasks.
