Nothing's ever really going to last forever.

What I want to say today is the Microsoft Office software that exists in almost every computer in the world, and the role that office plays in people's lives is almost irreplaceable. In contrast to the development of the IT industry, I can't help but ask if Office will always exist, the answer to this question is negative, and there will be new products to replace it in the future.

What products can Microsoft use to replace Office, and will new products replace office as the company's huge revenue generation? Replacing old products with new ones is not difficult, but it is not easy to replace the markets and consumers who are accustomed to old products. Microsoft has always wanted to position itself as a comprehensive supplier of equipment and services, and Microsoft may have to "axe" office in order to achieve that goal.

The author thinks that there is a problem in the view of Microsoft, our life after entering the post-PC era does not simply value the functionality of product equipment, it is more to form a "digital life" concept, and office in People's digital life can only play a more marginalized role. We take the BlackBerry's BBM service for example, BlackBerry BBM is a BlackBerry Bis/bes service based on a mobile IM software that enables the exchange of free information, sound, pictures, and video between BlackBerry devices. BlackBerry BBM is the only product the BlackBerry has ever had to compete with other rivals in the post-PC era. In the face of WhatsApp, line and imessage and other similar products of the sniper, the BlackBerry BBM has felt a great deal of pressure. Users in the later use of the process found that the BlackBerry BBM can actually be replaced by other products, and this is another way to announce the BlackBerry BBM failure. When people find that they can do something without using a single means, they naturally choose other simpler and more convenient means. So I think office is over the top of the state, it is entirely possible to be replaced by a new suitable product.

I also believe that Microsoft's other quality products are the most suitable replacement for office is Skype. Microsoft, which spent 8.5 billion of billions of dollars in May 2011 to buy Skype,skype's own characteristics, is so in line with the post-PC era market and consumer tastes that Microsoft's ability to dominate the market is not windows and Skype, not windows and office.
