Operating System and Software
A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable
non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices
do not function unless an operating system that supports USB
is installed in the tablet PC.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.
