What makes Windows XP Tablet different from Home Or Professional?

windows xp


As in, are there are any programs that Home or Professional can use that Tablet can’t? Does the generic desktop look any different? Are the windows different?

Basically is there anything I, as having only used Windows XP Home and Professional and never Tablet, would be surprised or not used to when first using Tablet?

    XP tablet is streamlined to allow use of tablet pen and other tablet functions in a tablet Laptop. Otherwise everything else is the same.

    WinXP Pro Tablet Edition is a “superset” of XP Pro.

    It is the full version of XP Pro with “extras” added to allow its use for TabletPC’s. Everything you would expect to find in XP Pro is there.

    You also find the “TabletPC” stuff, which includes pen & screen drivers, handwriting recognition apps and process servers, a few pen specific apps like MS Journal, ink entry apps like Tablet Input Panel (TIP), etc.

    Other than that, if you were to operate a TabletPC via keyboard & mouse you would notice no difference at all.
