whitepaper Find New Meaning in Your Ink With Tablet PC APIs in Windows Vista2006-12-16 01:00:21 Microsoft
  With Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Microsoft introduced more than just a powerful platform for users. Through the associated SDKs, Microsoft has also empowered developers to create advanced ink-enabled applications. Recognizer objects provide the means to recognize handwriting as text. Similarly, gestures can be recognized and interpreted in any way the developer desires. Other objects allow for the division of digital ink into paragraphs, lines, and segments. The combination of these objects allow for the creation of very advanced applications. However, these options do not cover the complete range of features needed to create next-generation ink-enabled applications. So what is missing? With ink recognizers, even a simple line is considered to be text and is thus recognized with very poor results.

whitepaper Windows Vista February 2006 CTP (Build 5308) Review, Part 12006-03-08 Penton Media
  Vista's wide range of product editions is confusing, but at least Microsoft is now breaking out functionality that was previously available only in XP Media Center or XP Tablet PC Edition. Both Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions include the Vista version of Media Center, and Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate all include the latest Tablet PC features. This change should make these technologies more widespread, which is a welcome change.

whitepaper Microsoft Sudoku: Optimizing UMPC Applications for Touch and Ink2006-03-01 Microsoft
  As is the case for many developers, today's passions frequently become tomorrow's development projects, and so it took little more than the flight back to the United States for the author to have the first version of his C# Sudoku implementation up and running. But he wasn't satisfied. Something was missing. There was something thrilling about setting the logically discovered numbers crisply onto the paper with the pen or pencil, a property that was lost in the game's translation into Windows Forms. Sudoku is the quintessential application for a Tablet PC. After downloading the Tablet PC SDK to his computer the next day, the author soon transformed this keyboard-and-mouse powered game into one that is completely pen-driven.
