Here in Canada most academic and corporate environments are using ZoomText.

For anyone using a tablet PC who wants to use the handwriting feature, you
have to use the Windows Magnifier. It works well in conjunction with the
Input Panel. You can leave the speech of ZoomText on but not the
magnification when using handwriting on a tablet. MAGic won't work at all on
a tablet.

Most of the people who are using MAGic use it at home unless they own their
own business. Some folks use Lunar but again it is for home use not in
school [unless they are using their own computer] or at work.

I can't think of a school board, bank, business, or government agency that
uses MAGic It is ZoomText.
