"Recently there have been an extraordinary number of articles casting a
negative light on the future of the Tablet PC. In response to this, I
contacted Andrew Dixon, Director of Marketing for Microsoft's Tablet PC Team
to discuss the issues presented in the articles.

Questions:

Andrew, can you further clarify the relationship between the Tablet PC Team
and the Mobility Division and how in will enhance the customer experience as
we go forward?

Would you explain to our readers how they benefit from having Tablet PC 2005
integrated into Windows XP, SP2 and why this release is important to the
Tablet PC team? Is there any impact with the delay of SP2 on the Tablet PC
Team?

During the past month the Tablet PC Team has decided to rename the next
release of the Tablet PC Operating system (code named Lonestar) to Windows
XP, Tablet PC Edition 2005 from Windows XP, Tablet PC Edition 2004. Would
you explain to our readers why the name change is important now?

I noticed during the past month, Microsoft has kicked off five different
marketing tours for the Tablet PC. How does the strategy of presenting the
Tablet PC fit into your sales experience? Is the Tablet PC Team desperate to
sell devices or are you setting records?"
