Tablet PCs are nothing new to Microsoft. Since Windows® XP

Tablet PC Edition, Windows has supported pen based comput-

ing. A few years later, Windows Vista™ added support for touch

while considerably improving pen interaction.

As laudable an effort as those two operating systems were for

supporting tablet based computing, Microsoft upped the ante

with the release of Windows® 7.

This chapter contains tips and details to help you get the most

from your eo a7400 when using Microsoft® Windows 7.

Navigating in Windows® 7 on a Tablet PC
Typically, when working on a Tablet PC, you use a stylus pen or

your fingers instead of a mouse and keyboard to interact directly

with objects on your screen. You can open, move, edit and

delete items — such as icons, files, windows and more — with

easy-to-use basic functions similar to those performed with a

mouse.
