Anyone using a tablet PC?

Had someone call and ask about using ArchiCAD on a tablet PC. Techsupport told me ArchiCAD would run on Windows XP Tablet edition. Anyone doing it?

Is the tablet pen incorporated?

BTW can the tablet pen be used as a mouse or is it for writing only?

the WinXP Tablet stylus controls the cursor... it's an active digitizer

like :

except the WinXP Tablet Operating System is a superset of WinXP: it will have greater functionality for WinXP tablet stylus use.

for example right-click:

for Shift, CTRL, Alt: you can set the buttons on the tablet itself
and the WinXP Tablet OS provides an onscreen keyboard/handwriting recognition (not great for typing out long lines of text though)
