Ok... So Vista's (never) coming out soon. Some of us want to be Vista-ready where, the rest of us don't want to have to deal with the MS crap that they put out. For the longest time, I've been delaying my purchase of a Tablet PC solely due to the fact that the existing systems out there (excluding the Toshiba M400) probably won't be able to handle Vista with its full Aero glass functionality. Personally, I'm tired of waiting for MS to get their act together. Plus with the news releases on how much Vista will cost is maddening. For the price of what they are talking about, I can almost start to sympathize with people who get pirated copies... Almost.
Soo... Here's the big question: Are there any Linux distros that can fully support a tablet pc notebook? I'm talking about handwritting recognition, virtual keyboards, desktop rotation and the whole nine yards. Additionally, are their any windows managers out there than can rival the GUI design of Windows XP and more importantly Vista?
I have looked around a little bit and found some info of Suse's Xgl, but that's about it. I will keep searching, but I want to through this one to the Anandtech hounds and see what I get. I'll update this with any info I find too.
