Sigh. The idea springs up again - in another article - assembling clips of ideas and thoughts regarding the success (or failure) of the Tablet PC.

However, this single paragraph sums up the dichotomy that exists between an exciting future for the Tablet PC and an apparent 'slow dissolve' described by some people. After all, if there is so much to offer, and so many enthusiastic users, then why is there constant talk of the death of the Tablet PC?

What can MS do to refocus the marketing so that the negativity twists to a positive and enlightened message?

Those who've actually used Tablet PCs are enthusiastic. There are many classes of consumer who aren't at ease with keyboards, and the Tablet PC's handwriting recognition is good enough to keep them happy. The next generation of operating system extensions will be even easier to use -- when Microsoft manages to ship them: the company's seeming inability to produce new software has spilled over into Lonestar, the long-promised update. And nobody doubts that the ideal domestic tablet that's slim, light, long-lived, cheap and delivers high quality media over wireless networking will walk off the shelves.
