Tablet PC … it’s not about Windows vs. Mac

I just found an interesting post on my Tablet PC blog that gave me cause for this blog post:

Well, MAC IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS YOU PERSON!!

Hmmm … I’m not sure that I have anything against a Mac.  In
fact, I don’t believe that it will be long before Apple also ships a
Tablet PC. People ought to understand that the Tablet PC is not
necessarily about the operating system … it’s about a collection of
capabilities and an ergonomic design!

What I have found is that the Tablet PC is really about a design which
allows for easy use of a computer as a “tablet”, coupled with software
capabilities that allow for stylus-based annotation and writing. 
As I am watching the various vendors who are now introducing Tablet PC
systems – like IBM/Lenovo – I can only imagine that we are going to
watch more vendors jump onboard.  When Dell jumps in … it’s a
proven market.

One of my questions to my friends at Novell is why there isn’t more
Linux effort to support the standard Tablet PC platforms … and maybe
there is.  I just haven’t found too much yet.  Along this
same line of thinking, I really do think that it is just a matter of
time before Apple jumps in with their own Tablet Mac … or something
like that.  It’s not about the operating system folks …
