Making Of: How the Surface 2 became a reality

It seems like yesterday that Microsoft was announcing the Surface 2, but it was in fact two weeks ago, and now Microsoft is showing off how it exactly got to the point of making the actual thing.

In the Surface 2’s making of video, we see a very Apple-style announcement video where key people who worked on the product describe the journey they took to get to that point — although there’s no Jony Ive, nor is there the obligatory bright white background we’ve been accustomed to in Apple’s videos.

After the failures Microsoft made on the original Surface RT, it’s nice to see them reorganise and build a machine like the Surface 2 — which may be the first real iPad competitor to come from Microsoft.
