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.

    You need a subscription to 365 to use them to edit. But I think that's just the revenue model. They certainly aren't just webviews embedded in an app. They are proper native apps.
