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.

WordPerfect's problem was that they trusted M$.
When Redmond said **These are the APIs we will be including in Windoze 95**, WordPerfect took them at their word and built their product using those.
M$, knowing better, built their competing product using the APIs that were *actually* to be included in their new OS.
Unfortunately, years later when they finally got got their day in court, "justice" said that what M$ did was perfectly OK.
Surprise! Hey, this is 21st century Amerika after all.
