After all, somebody has to point out the obvious!

Tablet Vista ABCs - as easy as 123 (screenshots)

Phew, that sure took a while to do! (One of those "start it in the morning...wham I missed lunch!" things.) I present to you a gallery of 123 Windows Vista Beta build 5219 screenshots. Most of them naturally focus on new and enhanced Tablet PC functionality, and the others show miscellaneous other features that I found interesting. You know what gets the "most improved tablet feature" award in my opinion? No, the newly trainable handwriting recognition is a close second. Give up? It's the flashy new tutorials, tips, and demonstrations that show you how to use the pen, the TIP, flick gestures, and so forth. I wish Microsoft would just rip those out and graft them onto TPC Edition 2005, because they are sorely needed, and anybody buying a new tablet should have access to them. Like right now. And don't stop there, I want to the whole OS (but especially all the "weird" functions like pen input) to have a ton of neat interactive help available when it ships.
