Applications And Technology Of Tablet PC Windows Version
In Microsoft’s own words, the device that Tablet PC Windows users are tapping on is a full-fledged ‘slate like’ computer designed to be mobile, light-weight and ergonomic. The main difference is that tablets have a touch-screen and pen-based input, instead of the traditional keyboard and mouse used for input in desktops. Let’s take a look at the basic details of this device and the advantages of using it.
The things that need looking into include the usability features, applications and the reliability of the device. Then there’s also the staying power of the hardware and software technology used. This matters a great deal because this is still an evolving sector, and anything which doesn’t click within a year ends up discontinued without any support.
This is where it helps to have a multi-national giant like Microsoft and a popular OS like Windows being used on a variety of devices. For starters, their special XP edition meant for tablets worked very well. Then Microsoft decided it would be better instead to offer built-in support for tablets in the regular editions of Windows 7 and Vista.
Not having a separate version for tablets may seem like they’re not giving special attention to tablets anymore. But actually it means that these users will now get regular upgrades and updates along with regular desktop PC and laptop users. They won’t have to wait or beg Microsoft to provide them with a special new version every time the company puts out something new for regular users.
Getting back to the usability and applications, Microsoft has provided some nifty additions over and above the usual mobile and lightweight model for tablets. It uses Microsoft’s Gesture Recognizer and has two tiers of gestures that can be used with the pen. Additionally, users can make use of handwriting recognition software and touch-screen mouse inputs using fingers.
The handwriting recognition software is also very intuitive and learns from user inputs. It also has a personalization option where the user can input samples and the software will use these samples to recognize the same user’s text input later on. The mouse input using fingers works based on Microsoft Surface technology.
Many readers will be curious about how Microsoft enabled-tablets compare against the iPad from Apple, or the Palm TouchPad from HP, Android tablets and others. Well, it’s not an easy thing to comment on, but let’s just say that it’s more of a loyalty issue. Apple users tend to be fanatic and will not use anything except iPads and iPhones with iTunes, while Microsoft users tend to avoid change and like to stick to the familiar Windows interface.
The summary of it is that Tablet PC Windows users can expect a rock-solid product based on cutting edge Microsoft technology. It won’t end up discontinued and support and upgrades are virtually guaranteed for as long as the user wants to keep the device. It may not be as hip as a flashy Android or Apple device, but it tops the list in terms of usability, technology and reliability.
