http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/tabletpc.mspx My HP TC4400 has had these installed for a long while, you get bored of them after a while. Suffice to say theres a drawing and animating package in there. . After skimming thru the manual for K-Sketch it seems there are no physics in-built for autonomous gravitational and kinetics animation - you draw the paths yourself. A real shame as I thought it would have been natural to build physics into such a thing. Theres a physics sim in the MS tablet powertools. Works pretty good but is simplistic. Tablet PCsBy Wyrmhole

I like to think tablet PCs will really shine in the so-called creative industries (not just visual arts) once PC makers stop putting 5 year-old CPUs in them. Beyond office use the keyboard+mouse method can be really limiting. I recommended to one of my friends who works in audio production to buy a cheap graphics tablet and he can't stop talking about how much more efficiently he can get stuff done now. I personally can't wait till we have OS's that support multitouch tablet PCs. The period for commenting on this story has finished
