The book is well-written, fairly thorough, and deals with all of the main aspects of the Tablet PC. It is lacking, however, in Office 2003 application discussions.

There have been numerous changes in Office 2003 that afect the Tablet PC, and this book should be updated to include them.

It's one of the thicker books at over 400 pages, but it doesn't talk about a lot of the newer hardware and software that is covered in books such as "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tablet PCs."

I've read all of the Tablet PC books, and this is good, but may deal a bit too much in the standard Windows XP side to be as useful for Tablet PC users.

Don't get me wrong - there is lots of material on Tablet PC-specific usage, just not scenarios on how to effectively use the Tablet PC, or detailed information on the more esoteric applications and hardware accessories.

If you know how to use Windows XP, then this book isn't for you. About 20% of the book is aimed specifically at using the Tablet PC, the rest is basic operating system information that anyone who knows how to use Windows XP should know. This book was basically a review of Windows XP concepts with a couple chapters focused specifically on the Tablet PC.

This is an excellent resource for tablet PC users...I made sure every employee in my office with the new tablets got a copy of this book...it explains everything clearly, including how to use software and the special features of the tablet pc.

Highly recommended for anyone with a new Tablet PC -- especially since the tablet pc's themselves come with next to nothing in the way of "how to" documentation.
