tablets and word

[muddywater]

I may have posted in wrong group earlier. I'm not sure, but here's my
question: I'm new to tablets and am considering purchasing one. Is vista the
best os
for a tablet? Will handwriting that is input on a tablet automatically be
transcribed into text in a "Word" or excell document without any additional
program installed other than MS Office Small Business 2007?

Yes. One of the raison d'êtres of a Tablet is so that you can write on the
screen and the Tablet converts it to text.

Vista certainly is newer, more secure and has more features, but it requires
a better processor, more memory and better graphics than the XP equivalent.

On balance, I would be reluctant to buy a new PC of any type with an 'old'
OS. But if you are not familiar with Vista, I suggest you see if you can try
a Tablet with Vista before committing yourself.
