TabletPC'Corner: Toute l'information des Tablet PC

Hi all,

I'm a group manager at Microsoft and my team put out the Experience Pack and Education Pack for Tablet PC. I wanted to provide a brief explanation on why we have to block non English installs. A powertoy by definition is a use at your own risk, non supported MS release which OEMs do not have redistribution rights to. Powertoys as you know typically will install on any language and often times on any OS.

The packs my team releases are shipped as true products meaning they are supported by Microsoft and OEMs can license them for pre-installation and drop-in-box CDs. This differentiation means that we have restrictions that non supported powertoys do not. Installing an English UI on a non English sku is one of those restrictions, the apps have to be localized in our case. Trust that we haven't forgotten about our international users and we're looking at what would make the most sense in the various international markets that Tablet's are availabe in. I hope that explanation helps and that it goes at least a little ways in reducing the frustration.

Thanks,
Dustin

Bon bah, je vais passer l'un de mes TabletPC en English... C'est pour un copain prof de math à l'université qui voudrait bien utiliser Equation Writer car taper sous Word ou autres assistants et au clavier des équations mathématiques, se révèle être très difficile. Alors si je lui trouvais un logiciel capable de prendre en manuscrit des équations, il allait acheter un TabletPC.
