Rob Copeland worked at Microsoft for almost 23 years as an Engineering Manager Executive. He worked on the developer tools from Microsoft including Visual Basic and Visual Studio; he then shifted to working on tablet first features for Windows including the tablet PCs back in 2006 and Windows 8. Rob has used the iPad since it was first released in 2010. It is from this very interesting background that we have this discussion about computing and how he uses the iPad as his primary computer.
