I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Cross-Executive-Pen-UPCROSS2/dp/B0002FHEWA
Looks smart and worked a treat on my WinXP, Vista and Win7 Tablets. I don't have a Win8 machine with active digitiser as yet (but I expect I will). <rant> I love pen input. I'm a bit concerned that as a society we're settling for the low-res version of touch displays because that's all you need for finger-based touch. A well architected O/S will cater for both and take advantage of a high-res screen. Hopefully that will drive the price of high-res active screens down. </rant> Coatsy Andrew Coates, ME, MCPD, MCSD MCTS, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft, 1 Epping Road, NORTH RYDE NSW 2113 Ph: +61 (2) 9870 2719 * Mob +61 (416) 134 993 * Fax: +61 (2) 9870 2400 * http://blogs.msdn.com/acoat From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Friday, 30 March 2012 11:56 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Win 8 Tablet No battery. The pen that comes with it is quite cheap feeling. I bought a pen from Wacom but only the pen enabled ones will work, there are a few different types. I emailed Wacom and they told me the type that would work.

I thinks it's a bit entry level, but enough to get started. I presume you installed the Win 8 Consumer Preview http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview ? I found that tool to create a bootable USB (or at least install from USB) at http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool What version of VS2011 did you get, the Express Beta to build Metro apps http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/br229518 or something better?
