Please view the video below to see Vista’s handwriting recognition in action.

Update: Above I show how well handwriting recognition works with Vista. It works a lot better than its speech recognition. I use a Wacom Bamboo to write with, and I used Jing to quickly capture my work as an SWF.

The video is about four minutes long and has no audio.

I usually keep Media Center running in a small window in the lower right-hand corner of my screen as I work. Whenever I “mouseover” Media Center in the taskbar, a little version of it appears. What surprises me about this is that even when my computer’s processor is working overtime (as is the case in this image), both videos play just fine.

This is really neat, but I can’t think of a good use for this.
