I've been using tablets for over 15yrs for graphics work (3D modelling, photography) and they are great tools. They haven't replaced the mouse for me, they are just a different tool more suited to work where I need a more "natural" feel.
I've used tablets up to 16" but find I prefer the smaller 4" or maybe a 6" area to work with (so my forearm can rest flat and my hand is more stable to sketch or follow lines smoothly). Do you waggle your mouse all across your desk or just over a few square inches? The larger tablets mean you are moving your arm a lot, its tiring and less precise.
As for included software, there should be a disc with drivers but I don't recall any actual software bundles (I haven't had to buy a tablet for years, mine still works fine). Contact Wacom for more information on the software but it'll probably be either trial software or a cheap product if they're including graphics software.
