For example, to get started, visit Windows' new control panel, called "Tablet and pen settings," to specify whether you're right- or left-handed, move menus to accommodate your writing style to the left or right side of the interface , and calibrate your tablet pen, just as you would with a new handheld device. You can also change your desktop layout to either portrait or landscape most tablet PCs also have a button that switches orientation on the fly.
You can write by hand in Microsoft Word comments, respond to Outlook e-mail with written notes, and jot notes on PowerPoint presentations. Unfortunately, Word and Outlook don't yet support handwriting recognition from Windows Tablet Edition, so you can't convert those comments to editable text, and nontablet e-mail recipients must view your scrawled responses as GIFs or attached HTML files.
In addition, the XP expansion pack lets you convert notes into contacts, appointments, and tasks--again, only in handwritten form. Annoyingly, the Windows Tablet Edition interface lacks a desktop button to minimize all open applications, as other versions of Windows do; it's been replaced by an icon in the taskbar that spawns Tablet Edition's handwriting input pad more on this later.
The missing desktop button is a major lapse since there's no way to quickly switch between open programs. There's no pen-based equivalent to Alt-Tab, so you'll have to click each individual window. We'd like to see a desktop button and a detachable application switcher, similar to the one in Mac OS 9 and its predecessors.
Custom-written apps When it comes to everyday use, the Office expansion pack and Journal are the most likable Tablet Edition apps. If you take notes, Journal proves excellent and easy to use; you can choose different pen types say, from a bright-red marker to a fine black chisel , colors, and styles; highlight and erase text; and even search your notes, as Journal uses handwriting recognition to log certain words and find them later.
Journal also includes a text-correction tool that can find and replace misspelled words in your own handwriting--nice. Journal works better than even traditional pen-and-paper note-taking, too, since you can use the stylus to rearrange written text, insert spaces, and export notes to e-mail. All that means no more transcribing handwritten notes to send out minutes, as long as you trust your handwriting.
Journal also lets you convert your notes to text, but its handwriting-recognition quality depends strongly on your writing style, and it's not very reliable. As for note-taking, it's alternately thrilling and irritating.
Egyptian concept creator AbdelRahman Sobhy has put his design skills to good use, creating his vision of what Windows XP could look like for While it still offers the same instantly recognizable design, including the large Start button, classic Start menu, and Bliss wallpaper, this concept also seamlessly introduces modern elements like Cortana, Task View, and Action Center, as well as a redesigned File Explorer -- with tabs.
