Though the iPad was not released until 2010, the first tablet PC, which Microsoft produced, was released in 2002 based on Microsoft’s own equipment specifications. The Microsoft Tablet PC ran the original Windows XP version known as Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, which was used before Windows XP itself ever reached desktop computers.
