After trying the superb handwriting recognition using the latest Dell pen on the Dell Venue 8 Pro, I felt it necessary to correct my rant (excerpted below) about this not being a good tablet consumption device, in case anyone might be swayed by it.
The pen handwriting recognition puts this in another class. Much improved from the old Windows Tablet PC handwriting recognition or Evernote's handwriting recognition. For me, thoughts flow better when handwriting, compared to pecking out characters with one or two fingers on a soft keyboard. Glad I bought this tablet and pen.

it seems to me that Windows is doomed to live on bigger iron (desktops and laptops). ...
