It's official: there is a bug in XP tablet PC edition

Microsoft has sent an email to its tablet PC partners in which it confirms the memory leak found in in XP tablet PC edition 2005. In the message they directly link to the register which published it. The OS pen input panel does have a memory leak. MS says it's working on it, for the moment they advise rebooting to reclaim the memory lost. A little silly, one of the official requirments of a tablet is it's fast recovery from a suspended or docked state to an operating or undocked state. Within 5 seconds. My tablet is fast but it will not boot that fast.

The timing of this bug could not be worse. Next week is Windows Anywhere and I don't want to be talking all conference long on this. It's something which should get fixed so we can delve deeper in the really interesting stuff.

Peter,
Which Tablet do you have I've known about this problem since the register published it and have been watching my Protege M200 ever since and have yet to actually see the problem (over the last week). And I do all of the things that supposably cause the problem; never rebooting, using TIP very heavily, etc.
