\"MicrosoftMicrosoft is finally bringing Office to the iPad.<\/p>\n

I know this doesn\u2019t qualify as earth-shaking news, but I\u2019m uber glad to see it.<\/p>\n

The discussion in the news articles questioned why Microsoft would release a product that benefits its rival tablet maker, Apple. The answer \u2014 at least to me \u2014 is obvious. It looks like this: $$$$.<\/p>\n

Everytime Microsoft sells another copy of Office, it makes $$$$.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reasoning that took place inside Microsoft, I\u2019m glad to see the decision. I\u2019m not so sure about buying a subscription service instead of just buying the app outright. Since that\u2019s the only way I can get Office for my iPad, I may take a pass. The free stuff that Apple offers, coupled with iCloud, seems to be working just fine for my needs.<\/p>\n

But if you need Office to do your work, it\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

Office for the iPad: What will they think of next?<\/p>\n

From CBS<\/a>:<\/p>\n

One of the most\u00a0epic tech rivalries<\/a>\u00a0around has taken another twist. Microsoft officially launched Office for\u00a0Apple\u2019s iPad<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday, after holding out against the competitor\u2019s iconic tablet for almost four years.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s new CEO, Sayta Nadella, ushered in a new era for the company by promising to focus more on the popular mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Nadella made his first major public appearance as CEO at Thursday\u2019s event, and said he felt rejuvenated after his 22 years at the company,.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see things from a fresh set of eyes and fresh perspective,\u201d Nadella told a crowd of reporters gathered for the announcement in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

When former CEO Steve Ballmer was in charge, a Windows-centric view dominated the company\u2019s decision-making process. In making such a paradigm shift, Nadella is betting that Microsoft can win back some of the business professionals that now run competing productivity apps on the popular tablet,reports CNET<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new Microsoft Office apps will allow iPad users to edit and create documents, spreadsheets and presentations \u2014 for a price. With the \u201cfreemium\u201d download, users will be allowed to view a document or presentation without needing a paid subscription. However, in order to edit or create a document, users will need a subscription to Office 365.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
