Emily Rimas - Tablet PC Education Pack revealed | scobleizer

Is there any way to export to Math XML from equation editor? I like the feature, but it would be nice to be put into another format. Like Microsoft launched Student 2006 this year that as a graphing calculator program with it, it would be really nice to be able to use ink to enter equations.

Gnarly dude. I can see some happy accidents with mathematical recognition, some lucky scientist scrawling something incorrectly and the computer misinterpreting it and giving them a place in history.

Shame equations are saved online as a bitmap, would have liked a jpeg so that the equation could be imbedded in the meta-data, maybe fonts as Robert suggested or have the tablet recognise the characters form the image so it can be edited, remember this is not a style of writing where spell check can insert or take a duplicate letter, whole formulas depend on their accuracy

See for a similar technology:

Unfortunately we don’t export as Math XML; it was something we really wanted to get into this version but we were not able to. We have gotten a lot of feedback on this and it is a feature we want to include in future versions. Thanks for your feedback.

You can install it, but you can't use any of its features.
You'll get a nag like message : "please use XP Tablet PC windows".
