Microsoft has given a behind-the-scenes peek at technologies the software company is looking to include in future versions of Windows designed for mobile PCs. The software giant also seemed keen to highlight its plan to aid in the closing of the gap between the differences in capabilities of tablet and notebook PCs. They indicated that this would come in the form of possible closer integration for mobile peripherals such as electronic ink devices.
"Do they buy a Tablet PC or this other notebook PC?" Fish asked. "You don't make that tradeoff. You buy this great notebook PC with pen and ink," using it as a notebook PC with a keyboard where appropriate, then swiveling the display and writing on it with a stylus in other situations, he said. The Acer C100 family, for example, can be used as a "convertible" Tablet PC.
