Re: desktop pc plus intuos2 = tabletpc?

Since I've got a Tablet PC, and not a developer, I haven't installed on a
desktop, Franz. However, there are known limitations to the "ink" produced
on that type of installation because there are no digitizers installation on
the normal desktop. Your handwriting (ink) sampling is going to be an
incomplete experience because a writing pad samples at the same rate as your
normal mouse, whereas the Tablet PC digitizers sample at more than triple
the mouse rate.
