 Turbocharging the Tablet The Tablet software, which lets you replace the mouse and keyboard with a pen and allows you to write or draw directly on the screen, gets two critical improvements in Vista. First, handwriting recognition actually works, meaning that you rarely have to resort to the clunky on-screen keyboard. Second, Microsoft (MSFT) has finally realized that a pen is different from a mouse. When you're working with the pen, a little dot on the screen tells you where the pen is pointing, rather than a big mouse arrow that gets in the way. And you can use pen-stroke gestures—Microsoft calls them flicks—for common navigation and editing moves. For example, a quick upward flick on a long Web page moves it up, as though you had spun the wheel on a scroll mouse. A flick to the upper left will delete a selection.
