The tablet pc development center has recently hit an awesome milestone, we've gone over 10,000 unique visitors per month (actually 11,000) which is simply incredible. In the 14 or so months we’ve been online we’ve seen consistent growth month by month. A lot of this is because of the hard work the team is doing providing the information our developers are asking for.  More importantly I believe it has to do with the growth rate of the Tablet PC in general. We recently hit 800 ISV partners signed up for our partner program at http://www.tabletpcpartners.com, which represents a 300% growth over a 12 month period. Applications tuned for the Tablet are growing at similar levels, check our ISV catalog at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/tabletpc/evaluation/software.mspx or the products listed at tabletpcpost http://www.tabletpcpost.com and the newest entry into the ecosystem the Tablet PC online store at Handango.com http://microsoft.handango.com/tablet ISVs now have several ways to promote and sell their software. We’re working with the Windows marketplace team which will lead to even more exposure for our partners.
