Microsoft Courier Tablet to Run Full Windows 7?

UPDATE: The video has been pulled for some reason (it said a copyright claim by Nike...?). I've just put up a more recent post about the Courier that includes a better vid anyway!

I’ve got to confess: it’s really nice to see Microsoft going to down a “right path” every once in a while. Mary-Jo Foley over at ZDnet recently predicted a push from Microsoft on the tablet front and here it is. While she’s not much of a fan of the tablet, I think these almost casual computing devices are awesome… especially this one.

This vid shows what looks to be InkSeine, a Microsoft research project in development, which Mary-Jo says means “it’s somewhere between pure research and productization”. Like the Microsoft Journal on steroids, it allows for some really intuitive linking and such.

Apple is also working on their own tablet, which will likely hit the shelves before we see anything out of Microsoft. What do you think, has Microsoft got a potential hit here?
