do you use only software supplied by apple (if on a mac) or microsoft (if on windows) and no 3rd party apps?

Well for something like handwriting, I suspect a device built around use with a stylus would have better working hand writing (more precise and accurate for someone with small, sloppy writing like me) and more widespread across all programs.
Vs. a finger touch tablet where you have to buy a special stylus separately and buy third party apps.
If a capacitive stylus works well for people with small and sloppy writing and there's apps that let me write on PDFs, books, word documents and everything else I mark up with pen and paper currently I'd consider one. I'm just skeptical that will happen vs. waiting for a tablet with a touch screen built for handwriting specifically and a suite of software designed to take full advantage of it.
As other's noted any 3rd party app would probably only allow handwriting within the app, so it would be more limited than having it built in and able to use across all the relevant programs where I'd want to mark stuff up.
