Microsoft is about to launch the iOS version of the Office application

Information related to the iOS version of the Office has appeared in the product label list of the Microsoft Technical Support Document

Beijing time on December 11th at midday The news, the French website Mac4Ever reported that the information on the Microsoft technical support website indicates that Microsoft is about to launch the iOS version of the Office application.

Information related to Office for iOS appears in the product tag list of the Microsoft Technical Support documentation. At present, in addition to Microsoft's own mobile operating system, Microsoft has not launched Office applications on any mobile platform, so there should be no product support documents like "Excel for iPad" on the Microsoft website.

Unless there is a low-level error inside Microsoft, this information indicates that Microsoft will launch Office applications on some non-Microsoft devices. Microsoft has previously launched Office software for Apple's Mac, but Windows is still the main platform for Office.

About a month ago, the US technology blog The Verge reported that Microsoft may launch the iPad and Android version of Office in May next year, but it will be a very limited version: users can only access documents, and You cannot create or edit a document. If you want to edit, iPad users can only buy Microsoft's cloud computing service Office 365. Office 365 with document editing features a minimum monthly fee of $6 per user.

Considering that Office will be the most important "killer" app for users to use Windows 8 tablets, and has been integrated into Surface RT tablets, so on the iPad platform, Microsoft only provides Office 365 It is reasonable.
