I don't think the other OSs are trying to compete in that area, the focus has been predictive text.
Coming from windows platform PDA and smartphone I too was a huge fan of hand recognition but after using predictive text technologies, I'm not so impressed with it.
I can write it off as still not ready but the truth is I don't believe any technology will ever be able to read my chicken scratch. I recall the process was a three step process: write, recognize, fix recondition errors.
The last step is what took the longest based on how bad the recognition was. In the end I started using the one character at a time recognition, but it's not nowhere hear as fast as predictive text.
The power of Windows 7 is that it's designed for real computing and will have a more multitasking support than the other OSs. None of this silly apps run in maximized screen mode.
