Windows 7 Tablet PC Screenshots

Several of us on the GottaBeMobile.com team are fortunate enough to be participating in the Windows 7 beta, and we’ve got some screen shots of some of the new Tablet PC features in Windows 7. Keep in mind, a lot of this might change between now and release. There will be more coming, so stay tuned. Warner will be filming an InkShow soon.

The TIP Tab operates a little differently in Windows 7. The Tab on the left side stays hidden until you bring the pen to the screen, then the tab displays allowing you to click it to show the full TIP.   In Vista, the tab would always show and accidentally display when you moved the mouse over it . Correction: Vista has this setting, too, but it is not turned on by default like it is in Windows 7. Correction 2: turns out this might be a pre-beta thing. Others are reporting it working like Vista, defaulting with the tab showing. Oh well. Chalk it up to pre-beta. I actually like it this way, so I’m glad I accidentally discovered it.Inplace tip in the Search, etc doesn’t appear to be there   – at least not yet.	The TIP also features little how-to animations that display when you click on them — how to correct a word, how to delete, how to split a word, how to join, and an option to hide the videos.
