I think Microsoft is in a very strong position to do really well in this market. I remember using my Fujitsu Lifebook (I forget the model) 5 years ago with a stylus for note taking. It had really good integration with MS Office and was very usable. In addition, the OneNote software works really well in a table environment.
What they do need to work on is the multi-touch, gesture type of interface. Menus are not very good UI for fingers  . |
Yes, I considered Windows tablets previously, but they weren't usable enough for me. I went on one brand-name fan forum, looking for info, for instance, and even the fans were complaining about the tablets, lol. iPad has set the bar higher for tablets and tablet content.
I'm not an Apple fan, though I love my iPad. My husband used to work at Microsoft. You could say we have an MS bias. I would prefer an MS / Windows tablet, because all our other computers are on Windows and I could ditch iTunes, which I hate.
