This post reflects the opinions of the author and not necessarily those of Mashable as a publication Microsoft recently launched Office for the iPhone. In years past, when Microsoft software didn't just rule, but defined "computing," bringing its gold-standard productivity suite to the world's most popular device would have been a gigantic
move, with millions of users downloading and using it within hours.
But back in reality, it barely registered. Certainly, Office on the iPhone was news, but it changed the lives of few iPhone users, judging by the muted response (Microsoft says it's "pleased" with Office for iPhone, but it was never near the top of App Store charts). As it turns out, most iPhone owners get by just fine with any number of Office alternatives and aren't that excited by software you "subscribe" to — and who the hell still uses Office, anyway..........
