Ballmer: Office App for iPad ‘100 Percent in Progress’
— rcpmag.com
Finally! Why Microsoft took so long to do it?
People think I’m crazy when I said Microsoft should release Microsoft Office for iPad. Why should Microsoft do it you ask?
It’s very simple; Microsoft is a god damn software company and building Microsoft Office for iPad is a good investment. Why Apple builds iTunes for Windows? It’s a same reason why Microsoft should build Microsoft Office for iPad. I don’t see building Office for iPad will hurt the company.
Perhaps building the touch interface Microsoft Office may not be as simple as designing for PC with the mouse. Then again, things have changed since iPad rules the mobile world.
Why only now Microsoft is designing for iPad? Android is taking over the population like the infected zombies and the declined of PC sales probably gives enough reason for Microsoft to push through.
I really wish Microsoft have done Office App for iPad sooner, the refinement of the product would have been mature and superb by now.
