Office Cloud applications have become a new competitive hot spot for internet giants, and Apple has also begun to attract new users after Google claims to take over its big customers at Microsoft Office 80%-Iwork for ICloud, the Office cloud service for anyone who is free to open its beta version.

IWork for icloud is the cloud version of Apple's Office suite iWork, composed of word processing and typesetting software pages, spreadsheet software numbers, and PowerPoint presentation software keynote three cloud services. In the past, iwork can only be used on Apple's Mac OS and iOS devices, and the cloud version supports Web Access, so windows, Android, Chromebook, and Linux users can also use iwork for ICloud through browsers.

But as the name suggests, IWork for icloud need icloud account to access. In the past, users must have an Apple device to register icloud. But now Apple has posted the following message in a prominent position on the homepage of the Beta icloud website:

Now anyone can use Pages, Numbers, and iCloud that apply to the
Keynote. Create your free Apple ID and start using it now.

As can be seen from the registration process, Apple no longer requires users to own Apple devices before they can register. And the user registers the Apple ID to obtain 1GB free storage space.

For Apple, which has always maintained a closed ecosystem of carrot and stick, the openness is unusual, making it possible to dig into the corners of Microsoft and Google and secure a larger potential customer base. However, it is not clear whether Apple intends to promote to the icloud main station, perhaps the beta version of the user's response will ultimately affect whether Apple promotion.
