Chapter 1 - Introduction

Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is installed on HAMMERHEAD RT pen tablet computers at the factory and registered to you. If you have a touch unit, Microsoft Windows XP Pro is installed, along with Calligrapher handwriting recognizer, PenOffice control program and My- T-Pen onscreen keyboard program. WalkAbout Computers often pre- installs application software for its customers. In most cases user access to operating systems or other software is restricted.
