1 Use Microsoft’s Most Advanced Operating System. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is a superset of Windows XP Professional and provides the power of Windows XP with no sacrifices. Tablet PC Edition has the full capabilities of Windows XP Professional, plus additional features to enable pen-based computing. And, because it is a Windows operating system, Windows XP-compatible applications will run on Tablet PC.

2 Extend the Way You Work with Your PC. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition lets you interact with your PC in a more natural way by incorporating the convenient and intuitive aspects of pen and paper into the PC experience. Using a digital pen and the Input Panel utility, you can write directly on the screen and save your notes in your own handwriting or convert them to typed text for input into other applications. In addition to entering text, your digital pen can do those things typically done with a mouse and keyboard (open applications, select text, display menus), but you can use a mouse or keyboard if you prefer.

3 Work from Anywhere with the Most Mobile PC Ever. The Tablet PC provides everything you expect in a mobile PC, in a form that allows you to be productive in more situations—at your desk, in the hallway, at a meeting, or on the go. The Tablet PC comes in two basic forms: the “convertible,” with an integrated keyboard, and the ultra-mobile “pure tablet,” which has innovative docking solutions for easy access to the keyboard while at your desk. The Tablet PC supports grab-and-go removal from a docking station and has a fast resume-from-standby time. These capabilities combined with wireless network support give you greater mobility and immediate access to the full power of your PC.

4 Take All Your Notes Electronically. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition comes with Microsoft® Windows® Journal, a note-taking utility that lets you create and organize your handwritten notes. Windows Journal makes it easy to capture the text, diagrams, and pictures you would normally create using pen and paper. Advanced handwriting recognition technology lets you search your handwritten notes to quickly find what you need.

5 Collaborate Easily and Effectively. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition lets you integrate electronic “ink” into your everyday business applications. Download the Office XP Pack for Tablet PC, and you can use ink with core Office XP applications: You can add ink comments in Microsoft® Word 2002 documents, emphasize key points using ink during PowerPointM® 2002 presentations, and write and send ink e-mails through Outlook® 2002—all in your own handwriting. You can share these handwritten documents with other PC users, regardless of whether they have a Tablet PC.

6 Personalize Your Experience. Using Tablet and Pen Settings controls, you can customize your Tablet PC: Calibrate your pen, optimize your Tablet PC for left- or right-handed operation, and program your Tablet PC’s hardware buttons to complete specific actions, such as opening an application or changing screen orientation from landscape to portrait.

7 Extend Your Applications with Ink. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is a powerful platform and the foundation for a new generation of applications with pen and ink capabilities. For example, the Tablet PC’s powerful but simple Ink Controls and Applications Programming Interfaces allow software developers to extend existing applications with pen and ink and to develop new applications using this technology.

8 Deploy and Manage Easily. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition includes the advanced deployment technologies and policies included in Windows XP Professional, making it easy to deploy and manage Tablet PCs in the corporate environment.

9 Provide a Global Business Solution. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is localized into English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), and Korean. It also supports the Windows XP Multilingual User Interface (MUI), which lets you change dialog boxes, menus, help files, dictionaries, and proofing tools for each user’s language.

10 Get the Highest Level of Protection for Critical Data. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition offers all of the protection features of Windows XP Professional, including the Encrypting File System security feature and the access control feature. Tablet PC also supports secure log on using a single CTRL+ALT+DEL hardware button.
