The vast majority of the material presented is very fluffy and buzzword
laden, but the tablet computer demonstration is impressive.  It looked
like the demonstrator was really interacting with the the system, so I
don't believe that it was a totally faked demo.

If you want to see the tablet, start the Bill Gates video at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/topics/f2k/speakers.asp
and go to about 45 minutes into the video stream.  They mentioned that
Chuck Thacker had a part in developing the computer.
