Microsoft are less than two months from winning this one. Their concept of 
liquid ink and their handwriting recognition has now got so good, it's got 
to the point where it's almost better than paper for some tasks... I think 
this is one for a whole new development effort in itself, and unfortunately 
I suepct X will suck at it. This might be the door through which MS enters 
the top level corporate sector and slams it shut in everybody else's face.
