The birth of the iPad from Microsoft's point of view
1 / Announcement 10 years ago today of the "magical" iPad was a milestone on the computer. It was paid 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

"The announcement of the last 10 years of the magic iPad has been a milestone for the computer. For me it was also a challenge with something magical."
2 / Given that Star Trek had tablets it was inevitable that the feature of the form would be computerized (yes, the dynabook…). Microsoft has been working for over a decade starting with "WinPad" with Tablet PC. We're upgrading to Win32, Pen, and more. pic.twitter.com/bHqYt7xKhX

"Microsoft has been working for over ten years starting with WinPad."
The 3 / Success of the iPhone (140K apps and 3B downloads announced the day) blinded us to Microsoft's whereabouts of Apple. The endless rumors of an Apple tablet * apparently * mean a tablet based on a Mac. Why is that? The industry pursued this for 20 years. That was our context. pic.twitter.com/s8v0SoUeqo

"The success of the iPhone took Microsoft to the point where Apple was targeting.
4 / media (two here), however, were settled on Apple with no "answer" (pundits seem to be looking for answers) on Netbooks – those cheap, cheap, best Windows laptops in the world. More than 40 million have been sold. "What could Apple's response be?" We're concerned – it's cheap, from a fold, Mac. Sorry Harry! pic.twitter.com/oL9sOJT80A

"The media was buzzing as Apple responded to Netbooks. Over 40 million were sold."
5 / Jobs said the new computer needs to be better at some things, better than the iPhone / iPod and better than the laptop. After that you just got straight into Netbooks responding which would be better for these things. pic.twitter.com/cb By Ju8MO

"Steve Jobs said that a new computer needs to be better than other things, better than an iPhone or iPod and better than a laptop."
6 / "Some people think that's Netbook." (The audience joined in laughing.) Then he said, "Trouble … .Netbooks are better than anything … Slower. They have lower quality displays … and they have older, more sophisticated PC software … They're just cheap laptops." pic.twitter.com/F0TnHCyHYQ

"Steve Jobs said the problem is that … Netbooks are not good for anything … They are slower. They have lower screens … they are cheaper laptops."
7 / "Laptops are cheap" … from my perch which was great. I understood that _inexpensive_ was a better name. But we knew that Netbooks (and ATOM) were a way to use the so-called low-power, fanless, Intel chips of the phone. Cruel withdrawal of 40M units. pic.twitter.com/wDzwM7wzhd

“He unveiled the unique features of his new tool. The most impressive thing is that it is up to 10 hours of battery life. ”
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. And a quick wait, no viruses, rotations made, quality saved over time …

“There was no stylus… no pencil. How could it be TECHNICAL? The PC brain was so desperate for a keyboard, mouse and other pencil that the concept of manufacturing without them was hard to believe. And a quick disposal, without virus, rotabilidad, quality preservation on time… ”
