Last year, it was said that Microsoft is working on a new version of Office , which is designed for the iPad. According to recent estimates, the corporation loses several billion dollars annually due to the delay in the release of an office suite.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Holt (Adam Holt) estimated that with the release of Office for iPad, Microsoft could pocket about $ 2.5 billion each year. According to him, last year Microsoft sold less than 1 million Windows-based tablets, and in this it will have to try hard to capture 10 percent of the market. Especially against the background of the fact that Hewlett-Packard preferred Android to the Windows 8 operating system.
Holt also noted that Mac users install paid versions of Office more often than Windows desktop PC users do, which in turn will install the theme for windows 7 more often than update the office. The loss of profits exceeds the projected revenue from software sales (Windows and Office) for Windows-based tablets in 2014.
