Using Your Sahara NetSlate with
Microsoft® Windows® 7
Tablet PCs are nothing new to Microsoft. Since Windows® XP
Tablet PC Edition, Windows has supported pen based comput-
ing. A few years later, Windows Vista™ added support for touch
while considerably improving pen interaction.
As laudable an effort as those two operating systems were for
supporting tablet based computing, Microsoft upped the ante
with the release of Windows® 7.
This chapter contains tips and details to help you get the most
from your Sahara NetSlate when using Microsoft® Windows 7.
Navigating in Windows® 7 on a Tablet PC
Typically, when working on a Tablet PC, you use a stylus pen or
your fingers instead of a mouse and keyboard to interact directly
with objects on your screen. You can open, move, edit and
delete items — such as icons, files, windows and more — with
easy-to-use basic functions similar to those performed with a
mouse.
