Hais Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 yep, no tablet stuff in beta 1, although the guys within microsoft have made the tablet pc tools for vista allready which will be in beta 2. looks like there will be a seperate tablet pc edition from what this vid shows: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=92834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LispyGlitter2 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 haideaks, actually there ARE tools for beta 1 specifically for the tablets. However if you got the OS illegally, tough luck...they aren't embedded into the os yet. If you are a beta tester, download it the same place you downloaded the OS.

NetRyder Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 There is a separate download for the Tablet PC Input Panel on MS Connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien_0 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 It will only work as a mouse prolly because we need the extra drivers and the input control, which should be on microsoft connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutang01 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Can you easily update a Tablet PC from Tablet PC 2005 Edition to Vista? (like you can on a desktop from 2000 to XP) Wonder if the spex would be ok ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2005 Can you easily update a Tablet PC from Tablet PC 2005 Edition to Vista? (like you can on a desktop from 2000 to XP)586447242[/snapback] Not yet. Once Vista is finished, then support for upgrades from previous versions of Windows (other than earlier Vista/Longhorn betas) will be included. As for upgrading existing TabletPC OSes to Vista, that may or may not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutang01 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Damn, then it's a bit risky buying the Lenovo Thinkpad X41 Tablet right now ... lol :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't saying that you won't be able to install it on your X41T. All Microsoft employees have assured me that they are working hard to ensure compatibility with major brand tablets. Upgrading a Windows OS version means that the OS installation will keep all of your settings, as opposed to a full installation that installs everything with a default setup. I'm sure you will at least be able to do the full installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Live Veteran Posted August 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2005 i loaded vista on my M200, and none of the features worked..... the pen didn't even serve as a mouse ..... i hear that most of the tabletPC stuff will be in beta2 586295996[/snapback] The pen worked fine on my M200 with beta 1. It doesn't have the TIP (by default anyway), but it works as a mouse and inks fine in OneNote. But it couldn't do the handwriting conversion because the rest of the Tablet stuff was missing.
