XP SP 2 Tablet Changes Are Great

 It’s going on 2 weeks since I installed the latest service pack that really is an upgrade for the Tablet OS.

I really like some of the new features like the floating icon when you “pen over” a text box that allows you to quickly write text to be inserted

I think the only thing I have missed is the ability to directly write an ink comment in outlook – but I really believe that’s a setting somewhere that I just overlooked.  It’s now grayed and will not let you do a non text recognized comment…Anyone else have this?

I spent a lot more time over the last week using it in Tablet mode than I normally do and that is directly related to the enhancements in the new release.

Now if I can just find more time to finish my Tablet App for the big MS Contest!

How has everyone else’s experience been with XP SP2?

The outlook issue is not related directly to SP2 I think. I had the sam issue with SP2 RC1, but can't remember at what moment it started. After a clean install of XP + SP2 RC2 the problem wasn't there anymore.
