    Tablet PC aficionados will be happy to hear that Vista is much better optimized for their favorite hardware. It has not one but three parallel stacks for Tablet PCs Windows Forms, COM and the new Windows Presentation Foundation. One practical advantage of the new object model is that it is now easier to design a screen that works in either landscape or portrait orientation. Do note, however, that Tablet PC capability is built into only the Windows Vista Business and Enterprise editions.

    a "stack" is basically jargon for a specialized driver, of sorts.

    you could have a bluetooth "stack", too.

    I figure this just means that it'll be compatible with lots and lots of tablet/convertible PCs.
