GBM Podcast #47: Talking with Microsoft’s Tablet PC Team, Part 1

In this podcast, I spend some time talking with three members of Microsoft’s original Tablet PC team: Josh Clow, Jay Pittman, and Patrick Haluptzok. Specificially, we talk about the areas of their expertise: the TIP and handwriting recognition. 

I think you’ll enjoy hearing about the beginnings of the TIP and where the original design came from, what happened to Write Anywhere, handwriting recognition and training, and how Josh felt just a couple of weeks ago when Bill Gates gave him some suggested TIP UI improvements.

This podcast was recorded over a telephone in a hospital room, so the voice quality is not quite as good as our other podcasts, but the conversation and information makes up for it!
