Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who is about to resign, hinted at upcoming versions of Office for iOS and Android in an interview with Wall Street analysts. He noted that company executives are considering the potential benefits of releasing products such as Office for competing platforms.
According to the head of Microsoft, cited by PCWorld, the company he heads "is working on everything that, in your opinion, we should work on."
In other words, there is no certainty as to whether Microsoft is going to introduce Office for mobile platforms iOS and Android. The statement of the CEO of the software giant sounds more like a vague hint than an announcement of plans. According to rumors, Microsoft mobile office applications will appear in the fall of 2014.
According to analysts of Wall Street, Microsoft annually receives less than 2.5 billion US dollars in profits, which could enrich the company if its products were distributed to Android tablets, as well as the iPad. According to one report, Microsoft tried unsuccessfully to persuade Apple to lower the 30 percent commission that the Cupertino corporation charges from any sale of the application for its mobile platform or sale through the application.
