penguinrenegade writes "[0]Lycoris has announced the release of a new
[1]Tablet Edition of their popular [2]Desktop/LX Operating System.
There are several screenshots in the tour, and it looks like a really polished system, including some of the things that you'd really need in a Tablet, like the virtual keyboard, actually working. It appears according to one page that there are already Tablets in production by some manufacturer, too. So much for Bill Gates and his vision of only Microsoft on a Tablet, eh?"
