Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 Release Candidate
Reports are circulating about the impending release of Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 Release Candidate. I hope that SP1 deals with some of the issues that make Vista run so sluggishly.
Bink.nu and ZDNet are reporting that Microsoft will be releasing the Release Candidate (RC) test build of Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 to selected testers the week of December 1.
The further report that Microsoft will release the SP1 RC test to the general public in the second week of December.

Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC Coming Soon?
With Dell entering the Tablet PC market is it possible that we may see a drop in pricing and make the Tablet PC a viable form factor? I hope so!

Very Cool User Interface from Microsoft Research
InkSeine is a very cool user interface for the Tablet PC. See:
http://research.microsoft.com/users/kenh/InkSeine/
A video demonstrating InkSeine can be seen at: http://research.microsoft.com/users/kenh/papers/How-to-get-the-most-out-of-InkSeine.wmv
The InkSeine Tutorial can be seen at: http://research.microsoft.com/users/kenh/InkSeine/tutorial-page-1-introduction.html
Unfortunately, it is not generally available and only available to Microsoft employees. This would be a great research tool for a nursing student!
I hope they make this available soon.
