Microsoft's Courier tablet: A Franklin Covey planner on steroids? | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com
So more good/interesting news on the MS Courier front. According to Ms. Foley's piece in which she cites statements from one of her "Connected tipsters" who has provided the following key points:
1. Courier UI is overlayed on top of Windows 7. (I'm guessing like how Touch Flo3d is overlayed on the Windows Mobile OS).
2. Microsoft will be making these things itself(Just like the Xbox/Zune).Presumably to more closely govern quality control.(Hopefully UNLIKE the 360 initial release).
3. Despite having a windows 7 foundation, users won't be able to install Windows 7 applications because the full scale apps aren't formatted for tablet use. (A welcome dash of common sense!)
4. Public release date targeted for "mid-2010".
