Do you think they have a big board on the wall in Seattle which lights up Apple Alert whenever Steve Jobs comes within 1000 yards of the Microsoft Campus?
I like to think they do.
Anyway, I saw a pre-release of the new Tablet PC stuff at Microsoft UK yesterday, picture a notebook you can rotate the screen 180 degrees around a horizontal plane which faces upwards when the notebook is closed, then imagine writing your notes on that screen like a notebook (original paper version) which are recognised, archived and indexed in their digital 'ink' form that you can then reference later. Well that's a Tablet PC. Basicallly, in a couple of years they're saying you won't buy a current generation notebook, but a Tablet PC which doubles up.
Assuming you like Windows XP of course.
