Pros: - Several applications, including the on screen touch keyboard have multitouch support.
- All Windows GUI windows, including Internet Explorer, support drag style scrolling and several support pinch style zoomCons: - Hardly the fault of Microsoft, but getting ahold of the N-Trig Windows 7 driver for my Hp TX2 laptop was a royal pain.
