I don't know anything about the HWR that comes standard with XP Tablet
edition, but I do know there's at least one Windows solution that works
almost as well as the Newton's HWR:

If you have an old tablet lying around, it's worth trying. Not
surprisingly, PenOffice is based on the ParaGraph HWR algorithms of the
Newton itself. Just have a look at the handwriting finetuning panel:

and tell me that doesn't look eerily familiar.

Just one caveat: UMPCs have *abysmal* battery life.
