PT <http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=4880781> Windows Presentation Foundation (part of the Microsoft WinFX® Runtime Components) incorporates a number of features traditionally found only on Tablet PCs: digital ink and stylus input.

In this session, we'll learn about the InkCanvas element, Stylus input events, and other features that make Windows Presentation Foundation a compelling platform for developing Tablet PC applications.

Additional Horoscopes

Aries: Just because someone wants you take on more responsibility doesn't mean you have to say yes. Sure, you can handle it, but that's not what matters. Right now, it's all about keeping your life in balance.

Taurus: It's time to nip a growing problem in the bud by taking immediate and positive action. To be on the safe side take a few moments beforehand to make sure that you're considering all the long-term ramifications.

Gemini: You manage to find the delightful side of everything right now -- even if you're just lying on the sofa watching the clouds go by. You see the beauty in the smallest details and the larger meaning behind tiny gestures.

Cancer: It's time to put your goals first. Set out a list of small steps that will help you achieve these ambitions, then start knocking them off that list one by one. The stars say clearing any financial debts now helps too.

Leo: Demonstrate your smarts by asking for help. It's funny, but being humble earns you more respect from your nearest and dearest, especially when it comes to an issue that you were convinced you had under control.

Virgo: Love isn't always straightforward and easily classifiable. The ways and means of passion are as myriad as people themselves. Right now, you understand the subtle differences and are open to them all.

Libra: Some equal and opposite financial impulses are at war right now. You want something shiny and appealing, yet you know that your current means don't allow you to pay for it. Don't make any sudden moves. Wait and hope.

Scorpio: The amount of time you spend in preparation will show exponentially in your performance. Pay attention to the details, and lay the groundwork as thoroughly as only you can. And don't forget to ask for help too.

Sagittarius: Lately, it seems like everyone and everything has had a makeover. Isn't it time you caught the fever? There's something in your life that could use some major revamping, and you have the energy to tackle it now.

Capricorn: Success really isn't about the final product. It's about how you conducted yourself to get that result. You're lucky that both your moral code and your work are stellar. Could it be that the former begets the latter?

Aquarius: Let's face it -- you're a cutie. But just because you're an object of desire doesn't mean you need to make a decision one way or another regarding your love life. Only you know what's best for you.

Pisces: Career opportunities abound, especially if you know where to look. They might not be traditional sources, either -- a job option could appear where you least expect it. Keep your eyes and mind open.
