Bert Keely, a Software Architect at Microsoft, shows a prototype of the Tablet PC that is being developed by Microsoft’s emerging technologies group during Bill Gate’s annual “state of the industry” speech at the COMDEX convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 12, 2000. The Tablet PC is a fully functional PC that combines the power of a desktop PC and the simplicity of pen and paper. Gates outlined the sweeping chages he sees in computing and gave a blueprint of his vision for the next generation of the Internet during his speech. Photo by Jeff Christensen
