I am going to buy a tablet PC that has an OS option for XP Tablet, or a couple of versions of Vista. My tech support guys advised to stick with XP, but I don’t know if XP Tablet is XP Home with tablet support, or XP Pro with tablet support. MS web site is not much help for that specific question.

Anybody have experience with a PC with XP Tablet?
