Microsoft pushes iphone version of Office to vomit: a terrible move

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp;   Microsoft recently released its iphone version of Office, but the move did not seem to have sparked a buzz in the market. On the contrary, more or more cold water. ReadWrite, the US technology website, is even more than polite to say that the iphone version of Office is a faulty product that was put on the wrong market. The following is a summary of the article: Do you remember when Microsoft Office began to rule the world? Office documents are ubiquitous and have strong patent protection barriers, and the fate of the entire personal computing industry depends on whether a device can run Microsoft Office properly. But now things have changed. Microsoft recently released its iphone version of office after deliberately delaying years.       Don't know if this matter has caught your attention? In our view, Microsoft's move is extremely bad.      as David Poge, a New York Times correspondent, Davidpogue, one of the reasons why Microsoft's iphone version of Office has not attracted much attention is that Microsoft currently only offers iphone version office services to users with Office365 accounts.      Why? Because a good product like Office365, it's hard for people to refuse to buy it. When was the last time Microsoft released a new feature you really needed? Maybe 10 years ago? If you already have an older version of Office software installed on your hard drive, you may not find a reason to upgrade it to the cloud version or to the latest version of Office.      This means that office is not as important as it used to be.      However, the truth of the matter is not all that. I never wanted to buy an Apple Mac before Microsoft launched the Mac version of Office in 1997. But for Microsoft, the goal must be to avoid a US regulator's investigation into Microsoft's dominance of the PC market.      Time back now, when people buy iphones, ipads or Android devices, no one will consider office factors. While Windows smartphones have always supported running Office software, the latter is not enough to be a major contributor to the sales of Windows smartphones and Tablet PCs. Although this type of mobile device is now in the Enterprise computing field, we do not care if they are compatible with offIce software, because office is not as important to our work as it used to be.      No matter how Microsoft releases the iphone version of Office, it feels like a belated "surrender".      As David Poge said, Microsoft releases iphone office is a big news, but not because the software is so earth-shattering. It's a big deal, mainly because it reflects a change in market patterns. The last software giant has failed to deliver a successful smartphone over the past few years, failing to create a software that allows users to edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents to defeat the iphone.      Microsoft is still able to continue to earn billions of of dollars per quarter, but the position of Microsoft's Office component in the 90 's has gone forever. I now wonder if users will rush to buy Office365 to be able to use Office software on the iphone. If Microsoft had priced this service at 0.99 dollars in the itunes store, would you still be buying it? It may be, but it feels like a song you've been listening to all the time.
