Am I the only one thinking of dropping the Tablet PC?

I am, frankly, disappointed. Two years ago I was very excited to get my Toshiba M200 Tablet PC. I loaded OneNote, watched videos, learned to use the system well, etc. Unfortunately, it is simply not working for me. This is a bit hard to explain, but basically, here is what I encounter, and thus the reasons for considering going back to a standard notebook PC:
1. When I'm in a meeting, I need to be able to take notes easily, quickly w/out technical "issues." Inevitably, when I use OneNote, I will occasionally have the "ink" move in the wrong place.
2. Using bullets when taking notes just doesn't work particularly well--doesn't usually indent as I'd like, sometimes paragraphs are combined or separated inappropriately.
3. I often have difficulty getting the task bar (which is on auto hide) to activate when I move my pen to the bottom of the screen.
4. When on a table, the tablet is hard to write on. A legal pad is relatively then so the writing angle is fine. But, on the Tablet, the profile is higher making it harder to write usually resulting in my holding it on my lap

In essence, although a legal pad is extremely limited, a leg pad and pen just work--no technical fiddling, waiting for the system, etc. In a meeting, one must be fast in taking good notes.

Am I the only one experiencing this frustration? I actually WANT to stay with the Tablet but frankly, using a legal pad and pen just seems to work better.

Finally, will Tablet PCs be capable of running Aero Vista next year?

Any comments would be appreciated.
