Pen and touch flicks.
Simple gestures are available in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the shell, and many applications.
Windows SideShow.

Users can view essential information while their mobile PCs are off or sleeping.
Improved text and shape recognition. New improvements enable developers of ink-enabled applications to include better recognition, editing, and selection models.
Personalization of handwriting recognition. The handwriting recognizer can adapt to users’ individual handwriting styles.
