Actually, I was under the impression that Microsoft had trademarked the
term "Tablet PC" and that other people were using "Tablet Computer"
instead. But I may be wrong on that point.

Regardless, even if what you say is true (which was not even hinted at by
the original poster), the painfully obvious first step is to contact
Microsoft directly. Not try and glom onto a copy of the OS to start
fiddling with. That's the problem with the computer industry today. Far
too many products are just fiddled with until some marketing exec says.
"Ship it!". There is very little actual planning involved. Well, I, for
one, don't want to buy any products from a company that is so obviously
just fiddling with things. You can rationalize and speculate all day but
that still doesn't make fiddling with things a good way to design a
Tablet PC. And you are certainly not ever going to convince me that it
is. If you want to buy cobbled together crap then you go right ahead.
That's your business. But stop trying to convince me that I am wrong and
stop trying to make me out to be some heinous fiend for having an
opinion. Considering the lack of response I doubt the original poster is
even checking back for answers.
