1. Introduction
Is Windows 7 good enough to use on a tablet? Most Windows-based tablet PCs aren't as light as the iPad or boast the same long battery life, but for the same price you get the full power of Windows, and you can choose between devices like the keyboard-equipped Dell Inspiron Duo convertible or a touch-only slate like the Notion Ink Adam or EXO PC. Not everything in Windows works as easily as you'd like with touch, but there are plenty of tweaks you can use to make Windows 7 far more finger- and pen-friendly.

Excellent & thorough article. Now they just need to make Windows tablets that are competitively priced and preferably with an active digitizer!
How about a full and comprehensive list of Windows 7 tablets that are available to BUY
FANTASTIC article, the best piece of IT journalism I've seen yet on the subject of Windows 7 tablets and touch! Well done!
I agree with most of what's said here. However, I think the pen flicks is a total dud. It works poorly and is prone to errors. I think Microsoft should either remove pen flicks from Windows 7 or give it a major overhaul. My strong advice to anyone is to just turn it off!
Excellent article! I've discovered most of these myself either through other sites or experimentation, but I've been a Windows tablet user for a couple of years now. Having all these great tips in one place is sure to help make it easier for everyone to optimize their tablet experience! Thank you!

Lots of info.
THANK YOU Toms for this article. It would be a cold day in hell before ENDGADGET posted something like this.
Great article. I found the origami experience pack quite handy, and actually I`m using all the features on my Ep121. The UI(origami now & origami central) is great albeit unfinished. Thanks.
