And you know what else? It won't matter! Because when you pack a tablet device with enough power to run Windows and Office, do handwriting recognition, full-screen video, and everything else, you end up with a machine that is too thick, too heavy, uses too much power, and runs too hot.

and that's the kicker. they need to ditch windows, which they will never do.
only a company who is willing to write an OS that is tablet/handwriting/drawing based
from the ground up is going to make something that is truly innovative and actually works well. the only large company who has something that is even part-way there is apple with the newton os. which jobs killed years ago.
why did it take so long for apple to implement even the limited copy and paste the iphone/touch now has? the newton was doing it a decade ago flawlessly. jobs didn't want to borrow from the old OS. that and he didn't feel people needed it. lol.
