Good Morning!
I am thinking about purchasing a TabletPC, by Microsoft when it is released. Its features are quire remarkable and its seamless integration with a desktop and its components are quite amazing.
I have never personally used one, but did try the demo.
Let me know what you folks' think.

Top 10 Benefits of Tablet PC
Powerful, mobile, and versatile, Tablet PC is one of the most useful tools for being as productive as possible away from your desk. It's designed for mobile computer users who've been relying on a combination of notebook PCs, planners, spiral notebooks, handheld devices, and sticky notes to complete their work.
Use Microsoft's Most Advanced Operating System
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is a superset of Windows XP Professional so it provides the power of Windows XP with no sacrifices. Tablet PC Edition has the full capabilities of Windows XP Professional, plus additional features for tablet pen–based computing. And, because it uses the Windows operating system, Tablet PC will run Windows XP–compatible applications.
Extend the Way You Work with Your PC
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition lets you interact with your PC in a more natural way by incorporating the convenient and intuitive aspects of pen and paper into the PC experience. Using a tablet pen and Tablet PC Input Panel, you can write directly on the screen and save your notes in your own handwriting—or convert them to typed text for use in other applications. The pen can also handle common mouse and keyboard tasks like opening applications, selecting text, and displaying menus. Or, if you prefer, you can still use a mouse or keyboard with Tablet PC.
Work from Anywhere with the Most Mobile PC Ever
Tablet PC provides everything you expect in a mobile PC, but in a form that allows you to be productive in more situations—at your desk, in the hallway, at a meeting, or on the go. Tablet PC comes in two basic forms: the "convertible," with an integrated keyboard, and the ultra-slim "slate tablet," which has innovative docking solutions for easy access to the keyboard while at your desk. Tablet PC supports grab-and-go removal from a docking station and has a fast resume-from-standby time. These capabilities, combined with wireless network support, give you greater mobility and immediate access to the full power of your PC.
Take All Your Notes Electronically
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition comes with Microsoft Windows Journal, a note-taking utility that lets you create and organize your handwritten notes. Windows Journal makes it easy to capture the text and drawings you would normally create using pen and paper. Advanced handwriting recognition technology lets you search your handwritten notes to quickly find what you need.
Collaborate Easily and Effectively
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition lets you integrate electronic "ink" into your everyday business applications. Download the Microsoft Office XP Pack for Tablet PC, and you can use ink with core Office XP applications. You can add ink comments in Microsoft Word version 2002 documents, emphasize key points using ink during Microsoft PowerPoint® version 2002 presentations, and write and send ink e-mail with Microsoft Outlook® version 2002—all in your own handwriting. You can share these handwritten documents with other PC users, regardless of whether they have a Tablet PC or not.
Personalize Your Experience
Using Tablet and Pen Settings controls, you can customize your Tablet PC: calibrate your pen, optimize your Tablet PC for left- or right-handed operation, and program the hardware buttons of your Tablet PC to complete specific actions, such as opening an application or changing screen orientation from landscape to portrait.
Extend Your Applications with Digital Ink Handwriting
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is a powerful platform and the foundation for a new generation of applications with pen and ink capabilities. For example, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition has powerful but simple ink controls and application programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs allow software developers to extend existing applications with pen and ink capabilities and to develop new applications using this technology.
Deploy and Manage Easily
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition includes the advanced deployment technologies and policies included in Windows XP Professional, making it easy to deploy and manage Tablet PCs in the corporate environment.
Provide a Global Business Solution
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is localized into English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Korean. In the future, more languages will become available.
Get High Levels of Protection for Critical Data
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition offers all of the protection features of Windows XP Professional, including the Encrypting File System (EFS) security feature and the access control feature. Tablet PC also supports secure log on to a network using a single CTRL+ALT+DEL hardware button.
