Too big, too late? Why, oh why, would I want to clog up my iPad with Office? I've got Pages and Numbers and don't really need anything else. And how much is this little bundle going to cost? I'm betting its not going to be cheap.
Really its actually easy, but its true it does not go as far as Excel does.
Still not that hard and I use both the mac and iPad version. iCloud made me leave MS.![]()
Microsoft seems to enjoy losing market share.
I want to be clear. Microsoft is not working on anything cool or creative. Any reports to the contrary are simply inaccurate.
I have had office for Mac on 4 different Macs over the years and it takes forever to open, crashes all the time and I get a pinwheel for 20 seconds anytime I try to change a font. Microsoft just doesn't do well developing on platforms other than Windows.
Oh oh, and every time I plug my Air into my thunderbolt display every excel window I have open goes full screen no matter how much data it contains...super annoying. Ok now I'm just complaining.![]()
"Some of it's not true." "Which parts?" "No comment."
It's clear to see that they don't have any plans of launching their biggest product onto the device with the largest momentum. Nope, not them.
I love Pages and Keynote. Prefer it over Word and PowerPoint.
Now to get Numbers to do more functions and handle larger spreadsheets I can ditch Excel.
WHO gives a damn LOL, it's from Microsoft! They probably just took a year to copy Apple's iWork suite for the iPad and still did a hideous job out of it. Anyone seen the UI of the latest iteration of Office for Mac?

Every copy of Office put on an iPad would eliminate a future purchase of their tablet computer. Many many people would rush out to purchase an iPad if they could run Office on it. Microsoft doesn't want to promote iPad sales. They'll hold out until their tablet sales have been established.

I pray to god Apple release iWork updates this year and soon, otherwise I'll have to abandon pages completely. I used it a heck of a lot, now I begrudgedly use it since Lion.
Pages, keynote, numbers... nuff said..
