The Tablet PC quietly turned 5 years old recently, at least I don’t believe I saw anything from Microsoft celebrating it. Sierra Modro of GottaBeMobile has penned a great history of the Tablet PC that covers it from day one to taking a look at what might be on the horizon for the future. It’s a great read and worth checking out. What still amazes me to this day is the lack of promotion for the platform, now a mature five years old. At least once a week in my work someone looks at my Tablet PC as I use it in slate mode and asks me "what is that?". That’s pretty sad.
