Tablet OS glitch

A glitch in the latest version of Microsoft’s Tablet PC software is causing significant performance problems for those running the new operating system, the company has confirmed. The bug is in the redesigned virtual ink input menu in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, released last year. Over time, the panel that handles pen input eats up more and more of a system’s resources, choking off computing power needed for other programs. A Microsoft representative said late Tuesday that the company is aware of the issue, which appears to affect all machines running the latest version of the Tablet OS. The representative said Microsoft hopes to have a fix soon. However, the company did not offer a specific time frame for a solution.
