Apple, a company once founded by Steve Jobs, is one of the world's leading technology companies. Not just because it currently has some popular products, such as the iPhone, iPad, or laptops, but because throughout history it has become one of the most revolutionary companies in the technology market. thanks to his innovative and avant-garde ideas.
Apple could not only add their iPhone smartphones – something that Google would later follow with its Android app – but also had a love / hate relationship with Microsoft and its computers. Macs were the main competitors of Windows devices and even though they exist today, we will never forget another mover, the iPad. A computer that is not a computer according to Apple but looks up not only to the consumer computer market but also to the bosom of the world's leading technology companies. Because, The iPad had such an impact on Bill Gates' company, that he considered it a serious threat to strike.
How has a product like the iPad affected one of the most powerful companies in the world?
1 / Announcement 10 years ago today of the "magical" iPad was a milestone on the computer. It was billed to be the "next" computer. For me, managing Windows, just a few weeks after the introduction of Windows 7's "latest creation", has been a magical challenge. pic.twitter.com/wokHfyM5Qk

If you don't know who Steven Sinofsky is, tell them he was president of the Microsoft division from July 2009 until November. Or it can be remembered for being the creator of one of the most rated apps in history: and Windows 8. After an amazing operating system like Windows 7, the guys from Microsoft brought us a new version of Windows that was originally intended for the integration of a desktop app with touch-screen features. The only thing that doesn't live in anyone's world has been why many consumers don't renew to live with Windows 7. The reason why such a bad thing was invented? IPad.
As we read on MSPoweruser, Steven's best published a series of tweets a while ago while reviewing how the iPad affected your Microsoft time and how this device has made the Redmond company have to take action on the matter, running some projects and ideas that have not been successful. Tweets that by the way, come well to remember as a result of the new iPad Pro introduced by Cupertino company.
Do they really intend to sell the product as a productive product?
From Microsoft they knew that Apple would launch the tablet, but they didn't think of anything like an iPad but a product like the Mac but with a pen and touch. It made sense, the Mac had a large user base so the simplest thing would be to modify a platform like the MacBook with its touch control application. But no, Apple decided on another organization and based on the iPhone that launched the iPad, without a pen, without a stylus, without a mouse, without a keyboard … How was Steve Jobs going to buy a product and something productive?
9 / There was no stylus..no pen. How can one installation make or be a PRODUCTIVE? The PC brain was associated with the keyboard, mouse and sails in such a way that the concept of production other than that seemed exciting. Once again, no viruses, exchanges, long-term quality…

Windows 8: goes from fighting professional to being run down to consumers in just a few rounds
Obviously and as we all know by heart, the iPad was a spectacular success. A product with longer battery life than any laptop, which we can pick up anywhere, with thousands of applications to install and work with computers, hasn't been that bad in the long run. I mean The iPad received good sales in a short period of time became a real threat to computers and thanks to the company Redmond.
For the 18 / year 2010-2011 Apple sold 20 million iPads. That year will mark the highest waterfall in the history of PCs (365M, 180M laptops). Analysts had predicted more than 500M computers were now expanding to 100 million tablet forecasts and PC throws.

And, of course, threats are resisted or at least attempted to fight. Did people want the touch system or what it would look like? Well Microsoft has offered Windows 8. But Windows users aren't like Apple fans anymore Microsoft's operating system ended with a failure and a successful exit from Microsoft
If you are here now, this tastes great | I have tried using Android as the main mobile but Apple has not allowed me
Today the iPad is unstoppable. Not only is it the most popular tablet in the world, but also for its success puts his personal MacBook at risk. The apple-bred factory today sells iPads as though it were computers, what else, just announcing that they will have mouse support and the company's new keyboard – inexpensive – is the right supplement for all product seekers. and walking without giving power.
What is the iPad roof? Only Apple knows.
