WP8.1 Shape Writing on Surface and other W8 Touch Tablets???

[Sir William Wiener]

Was wondering if anyone knew if Microsoft was planning on adding this feature to the Surface and other Windows 8 tablets? I own a Surface Pro and Nokia Lumia 928 and this feature would be awesome for the on screen keyboard and typing long documents when you don't want to (or cannot) use the physical keyboard.

Totally agree. When I want to type with two hands on the on-screen keyboard, it's fine. But when I can only use one hand, the lack of shape writing now feels pretty glaring - the Surface is after all a very wide tablet, and going from one side of the keyboard to the other when pecking things out gets pretty tedious. I'd have to imagine that shape writing is coming, along with Cortana, now that the Windows Phone guys are largely in charge of the whole OS team at MS.
