As for the Tablet PC itself, one of the biggest changes being considered is the ability of the operating system to learn the handwriting of a particular user. To date, Microsoft's recognition software has focused on deciphering ink input by comparing it to its library of millions of samples.

The issue has been a subject of heated internal debate for years, with chief software architect Bill Gates among those pushing for an engine that could adapt to individuals.

The company also wants to expand its support for ink beyond text files, allowing file names, for example, to consist entirely of an ink image. The pen is also likely to get an expanded role in Longhorn. A feature known as "Flick" would allow the pen to deliver complex commands based on various gestures as opposed to just being used to move the cursor on the screen.
