Agree with you on 9 and flavors of Windoze.

However, I would beg to differ with you concerning X.

It seems fairly well suited for pen input.

The menus are laid out well, and the dock would definitely work well.

To me, of all the desktop OS'es, it is the closest to something like the
Newt in feel, and would work well with pen input.

...then again, maybe it's just me.
