Well they kind of have, then again the tablet market is so narrow that is
even hard to spot the competition. EmperorLinux has tablet PC's on Linux,
and one of the first things they need to make sure is to run their desktop
applications.

of course you can give them a call and find out. Usually the handwritting
recognition is provided by the OS and not by the application. Then again I
do not have or own a tablet so my knowledge is pretty w34k here :)
You are correct that the tablet hasn't rocketed the
way Mr Gates had originally predicted, but everything in the press now
indicates that the market IS growing. Personally, I think a tablet and
projector are MUCH more practical than a white board tethered to a
computer.
Way more portable, too.
Just wondering

I
also wonder if any "tablet type" software addon or whatever might be in
the
pipeline. And if not can it be added. If Mr. Gates says that tablets are
the
way "it is going to go" it would be nice to have an MS alternative.
I am not a coder or engineer, but I will assist in any other way.
Tablets have not really had the success Mr Gates envisaged. They are
useful in classes as interactive devices for whole class teaching but
there are other ways of getting the same effect eg an interactive touch
screen connected to a standard computer.
