From the makers of Vista. And Windows Me. And the Zune. And EDLIN. And then they go and make something like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES! Given, of course, that this is a real thing and will work much like the video. I can't think of a better computer for students, or a lot of professions too, actually. If it'll also link up with a Bluetooth keyboard for those times when you need to type, it'll be a behemoth. Awesome-wise, I mean. Holy dang. From the makers of Vista. And Windows Me. And the Zune.

This didn't show functions like that, but what it did show was impressive. I'd be nice if it became available in the near future. I've heard of tablet's that function like a monitor, but I can never find them. Do they actually exist?

I bet Apple is really close to that already. Boy, this looks a lot like evernote functionality with Apple technology. I bet Apple is really close to that already.

Glad to see them using a stylus, so much faster then typing on a touch screen. Interacting with computers like they are real world objects is so sexy!
