It must be slightly different though - a tablet PC will convert your  
input to an absolute mouse position, while a mouse (and a Wacom  
tablet) will take your input and convert it into a delta motion based  
on the current mouse position.  In other words, you can "warp" the  
pointer on a tablet PC by lifting the pen, but you can't do that by  
lifting your mouse.

That said, I can't imagine why SetCursorPos wouldn't work on a tablet  
PC, but I have no direct experience to back that up...
