I for one want pen input, but under condition that it would allow me to rest my hand on the screen. It should, basically, recognize the pen input exclusively and ignore all other touch events, if I tell it to do so. Sketching or writing all the while hovering your hand and ensuring it never touches the screen is not exactly the pinnacle of convenience. If Microsoft ever gets around adding this to Surface, they will get an edge... but, perhaps, by copying an idea from an HN thread :-)
Doesn't the Surface Pro do that? I was under the impression that the pen on the Pro used a Wacom mechanism, not just a $5 capacitive stylus like you'd use with an iPad.
