Why is writing with a stylus imperfect... I have been using a tablet for a year and used it exclusively for note taking during my last semester in school last year... I was on Vista and onenote and it worked out great! The handwriting recognition was good and the reaction time of the one note page was as good as a real pen and paper.<p>With a pure tablet like ipad (no physical keyboard) I would expect the stylus to be more useful especially for tasks like writing emails.
