Ken Hinckley from Microsoft Research has unofficially put together a prototype Tablet PC note-taking application designed and built from ground up around the pen. InkSeine (rhymes with 'insane'), which gives you the ability to easily search the web or your local computer directly from your ink. Although it's scheduled for a public release on February 15, 2008, Microsoft insists that it is not intended for public consumption: "InkSeine is a research demonstration only, and is not a Microsoft product, nor is it intended to become a product. It is just something we built as a pure research project to explore novel pen and ink functionality."

I agree. The paradigm has changed with the pen, but the UI devs still treat it like a mouse. It's understandable why they do that, but that way of thinking is really limiting.
It's not like this wouldn't transfer over to the a desktop with a wacom tablet.
