However, with TabletPCs being quite widely used in some critical areas (mostly healthcare and insurance), it's natural that Microsoft will have done a lot more to clean up the handwriting recognition in Windows. I don't think we'll see a properly working handwriting recognition system for Mac until there's the same requirement to get it right. I, too, rather enjoy my graphics tablet but gave up writing on it since it's just too much trouble. Using it instead of the mouse is rather addictive, however, and I find myself missing it terribly when I'm on the road or, even worse, using my work PC (a Dell... Help!!!) It is rather sad, isn’t it?

I'm already more used to the way that I have to write to get it to more accurately recognise things, but it does sometimes still wig out in unexpected ways. It also rather shows how often I have to go back to add in a letter afterwards, e.g. missing the 'i' out of 'like' and then having to go and insert it in the right place afterwards. But it's lots of fun, and I'm already converted to the idea of using the pen instead of a trackpad or mouse. It's just so much easier! Ha ha ha, yeah, it is rather!

That's pretty impressive. Wait, it turned the single word “designers” into “desegregationist mongolisms”? That’s pretty impressive.
