The remaining bugs and strange behaviors I hope will be addressed with a future update. The default behaviors seem OK for my uses of pen-based apps.

I am switching to Windows 8 despite some of the issues I have described.

In Windows 8, this is no longer possible because there is no item called Tablet PC Input Components listed there.

In Windows 7 they would go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off and then uncheck the item called Tablet PC Input Components. In my experience, disabling this service on Windows 8 does not affect the dynamic feedback ripples or the press-and-hold behavior.Д«ADВ NEWS: Tablet PC Components can not be uninstalledДЄnother technique people used to solve their problems was to uninstall the вЂњTablet PC ComponentsвЂќ feature. (NOTE: TabletServiceWacom is a different service and needs to be enabled to use your pen)ДЇortunately The Tablet PC Input Service is there, but renamed to Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service. Thus вЂњTablet PC Input ServiceвЂќ is not longer listed in the Services admin tool. In Windows 8, the service has been renamed. I never recommended this procedure, but some people found it effective.Дisabling this service in Windows Vista and Windows 7 was done by starting вЂњservices.mscвЂќ (The Services admin tool)В and then finding вЂњTablet PC Input ServiceвЂќ and then setting its Startup Type to disabled. NOTICE: The вЂњTablet PC Input ServiceвЂќ has been renamed toВ 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service'Д«ack in Windows Vista and Windows 7, some people would disable the вЂњTablet PC Input ServiceвЂќ to restore sanity to their use of their tablet.

I have no idea what is causing this or why Chrome seems prone to it. There is some strange combination of Windows 8, Wacom, and certain applications (Chrome seems be the one I see this in a lot), where suddenly the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard appears for no apparent reason.

BAD NEWS: The On-Screen Keyboard appears randomly Here's a video that demonstrates the problems with dragging objects. Again, this is a very basic bug that I hope gets addressed soon. I often have to use the mouse or the keyboard to complete the action. Sometimes clicks and drags simply вЂњdisappearвЂќ.

There seem to be some occasional odd issues when using doing things like selecting items in comboboxes or dropdown-lists. Again, the fact that it can't be disabled completely is something I regard as a bug in Windows 8.ДЄnd again some pen-based apps do manage to disable it internally.Д«AD NEWS: UI Components Sometimes Fail to Work with the Pen completely Previously in Windows 7 we could stop Dynamic feedback using some special registry keys and disable it entirely for all applications. The Dynamic Pen Feedback in Windows 8 RTM behaves somewhat similarly to Press-and-Hold BAD NEWS: Dynamic Feedback Cannot Be Disabled To be fair, some pen-based apps (ArtRage for example) are able to disable the feature inside themselves. I want to be clear that I regard this as an incorrect, and illogicalВ behavior and thus a clear bug in Windows 8 RTM. However un-checking the value seems to have no effect at all or at least an inconsistent effect. then uncheck Enable press and hold for right-clicking. Now, you can try to disable it of course: Go to Control Panel > Pen and Touch > Pen OptionsВ > Press and Hold. In Windows 8, Press-and-hold is enabled by default and CANNOT BE DISABLED. In Windows 7, Press-and-hold is enabled by default but could be disabled completely for all applications BADВ NEWS: PRESS-AND-HOLDВ STILL OCCURS AND CANNOT BE DISABLED
