Hi all. My first post! Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm watching an eBay item that's a HP Compaq TC4400 with Wacom Stylus. According to the listing it comes with a fresh installation of Windows Vista Business edition. That's all the OS information it gives. I did ask the seller this question but apparently as it's a cheap laptop/tablet it's not worth his while to answer what he doesn't know off the top of his head. :-P
Basically I know that these machines originally came with Windows XP tablet edition (possibly 2005 ed, though not sure). This one's been upgraded to Vista (it now has the Vista licence sticker on the bottom to prove it) but as I've very little knowledge of Vista versions, I don't know what's supported and what isn't. Will this machine work with handwriting recognition? (XP only did with tablet pc edition -is this feature now built into all Vista versions??) Also, can I just download the Wacom drivers from HP to get pressure sensitivity working or are there other known problems?
Anything else I should know? Basically I'm wanting this tablet/laptop for its Wacom capabilities and if they're going to be a pain to get working then I'm not really interested but I currently have no way of knowing as I'm not familiar with Vista and its different versions.
Thanks in advance
Dave
