I seem to only need a single finger tap. I wonder how our settings differ? Maybe I should post a picture of my finger? There might be differences in bone structure or something...
On my tablet with a fresh and clean installation of OS2008 Final, the thumb keyboard does not pop out when I finger-tap a text box.
When I posted that comment the finger keyboard was popping out at every double-finger-tap (on Notes) and at many text boxes.
Now.. it does not work on almost any text boxes and sometimes on Notes. Actually if I triple-finger-tap fast the finger keyboard pops out for a fraction of a second and then disappears.

Moreover, when I use the finger keyboard in a chat with the built-in messenger, and I press the enter key, it behaves randomly: sometimes it sends the message straight to the peer, sometimes it leaves the text in the text box waiting for a tap on the green arrow (send).
In the Beta it used to also first send the text in the text box, then popped out the finger keyboad and when the enter key was pressed it was also sending the full text, like:

Hi how <finger keyboard on>
Hi how are you doing ?

Now it behaves almost similarly.
To make it short: finger keyboard is buggy.
