Microsoft announces ipad version of Office downloads through 27 million

Microsoft announced that the ipad version of Office downloads exceeded the 27 million "TechWeb report" May 13, and Microsoft announced at the TechEd conference this week that the number of ipad office downloads has exceeded 27 million since the launch. It is understood that the download is less than 6 weeks from the launch of the ipad version of Office. At the beginning of the release, the ipad version of Office downloads were quickly ranked in the forefront. This is an inevitable link to the ipad version of Office that users can use to view and print documents created in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for free. However, if you want to edit the document, users will need to purchase Office 365 services. Microsoft has not announced how many of the ipad's Office users are Office 365 users. So it's hard to tell how the ipad version of Office helps with Office 365 subscription services. It is also unclear how the timing of the launch of the ipad version of Office has affected Microsoft's leadership in the Office software market. Since the launch of the ipad, users have been calling for Microsoft to launch an ipad version of Office, but Microsoft didn't release the app until this year. Apple CEO Tim Cook said in last month's earnings call that he was delighted with the launch of the ipad version of Office. In his view, Microsoft should have launched these applications faster.
