Two new Channel 9 Tablet PC videos, plus all the rest. :) And two more,
yet unreleased (demo of ArtRage, and Asian character reco), so stay
tuned...

NEW: What is a Tablet PC doing when someone writes on the screen?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8771
“Peter Loforte, general manager of the Tablet PC group, discusses
what technically is happening when you put your pen on the digitizer, and
what API’s are available for developers to use.”

NEW: What are you most proud of in the Tablet PC code you’ve written?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8770
“David Winkler is the developer who built much of the new user
interface for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. He’s a bit shy, as
you can see, but we think it’s important to get you to know him
cause his work simply rocks. If you use a Tablet PC, you’re using
David’s code. So, we wondered, what he was most proud of inside his
code?”

What’s cool about the upcoming Tablet PC software?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7603#7603
“Peter Loforte, general manager of the Tablet PC team, shows us what
is cool about the upcoming Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 software
update (code-named “Lonestar”) This is a free update and will
automatically come with the upcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2.”

------

Is the Tablet PC technology good enough for using the pen only?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7724
“One of the questions the Tablet PC team gets a lot is "is it really
ready to use with only a pen?" Robert Williams is the executive in charge
of working with OEM partners. He does a lot of market research, and
gathers feedback from OEMs and customers and knows just how hard it is to
get people to give up the keyboard, and talks about some of those
challenges here.”

New Tablet PC powertoy under development
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7859
“Susan Cameron, group product manager, for the Tablet PC group,
shows off a yet-to-be-released PowerToy for the Tablet PC that converts
all the fonts used on the desktop to your own handwriting -- she also
shows off why the Tablet PC is better for people who are left
handed.”

------

What language/tool did you use to write the Tablet PC’s drivers?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7855
“Michael Tsang is a software design engineer on the Tablet PC team.
What does that mean? He's the guy who wrote the driver software for the
digitizer. He also wrote the software that handles what happens when you
push on the buttons on the Tablet PC (like the ones that make your page
scroll up or down).”

------

What is the most suprising thing you’ve seen a Tablet PC used for?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7720
“Hot tubs? Coffee holders? Burt Parker is the OEM Product Manager on
the Tablet PC team and he shares the most interesting things he's seen a
Tablet PC used for.”

The Tablet PC has changed my life
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8248
“It's not often that you get a general manager at Microsoft to admit
that he brings his computer to bed. But that's not the only way the Tablet
PC has changed his life, in this video he explains how the form factor of
the Tablet PC has enabled him to use a computer in places and ways that he
never was able to before.”

------

How does Tablet PC’s digitizer work?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8237
“Michael Tsang is the guy who writes the drivers for the Tablet PC's
digitizer, so if there's one guy who really knows how it works, it's
him.”

------

On the Tablet PC how can I get my cursor to match up with my pen?
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8549
“On our Tablet PCs we noticed that sometimes our cursor gets out of
alignment with the tip of our pen. So, we asked the guy who designed the
software for the digitizer [Michael Tsang] why that happens, how he tried
to correct for it in software, and how we can calibrate the system to make
it better. Interesting factoid that we learned: even the magnetic field
from the hard drive’s heads can mess things up.”
