With the iPad likely to be a top selling PC these days, this distinction in the computing world is likely to become less important, even more now that Microsoft announced the release of MS Office apps for Android phones and for the iPad. Some strings are attached to the Office365 SaaS, but overall, it looks like a significant step for Microsoft to be less reliant on the Windows OS.

This isn't anything new. MS Office has been available for Macs for ages and ages.

And the Mac version is still crappy enough that I keep a Windows 7 VM around to run the Windows version of Office. Because then what my clients (who mostly run Windows) get is what I actually intended.

Anyone who spends money on this product has to be an idiot. It's obvious MS doesn't really want people to use it, they want everyone to throw their iPads in the trash and buy Surface tablets; obviously Office on iPad isn't going to be a high-priority item for them when it comes to making sure it works well and is bug-free.
