Hell, Office for phones started as Pocket Office in 1996 for Windows CE 1.0, and has been updated all the way until Windows Mobile 6.5. >who had versions of all of their iWork apps available on the iPad when that device launched Furthermore, the iPhone existed for 3 years before iWork was released for it. Since we're talking about mobile devices, it's only fair to use the original iDevice for comparison, since Office for Mobile is available for phones. Office for RT was released, and built-in to the OS, for free. Office Web Apps for SkyDrive was released 3 years ago. iCloud's iWork implementation is still in Beta. >Office has its own UX norms which frequently contradict the Windows norms. It's generally followed Windows UI style. Windows 7 brought in Ribbon in some built-in apps, and Windows 8 extended that even further. You can try as hard as you want to diss Office, but their product offerings have been top notch across devices. |
