I think a lot of the things you are experiencing are "growing pains" suffered by a new technology without a lot of background on how users want to use that technology. I have been running Vista on my M200 for a month or two now, and Vista adds a few really nice touches that aid in using the table (like the little check boxes in the upper left corner of icons). Other sofware (such as the problems you mention with onenote) are sure to be adjusted as well.

I am convinced that the "laptop only" computer is a deadend, and any new laptop must include tablet functionality. The usage patterns are ok, and are only going to get better.
