Tech-opportunists: Microsoft Office for iPads soars
Apple Chief Tim Cook welcomes the offerings from the company’s longtime rival.
SAN FRANCISCO:
Microsoft Chief Satya Nadella took to Twitter to crow as Office software tailored for iPads soared to the top of the charts at Apple’s online App Store. “Looks like it’s a pretty productive Friday for #iPad owners!,” Nadella said in a Twitter message that included a picture showing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint were the three most popular free applications at the App Store. Microsoft unveiled a version of its popular Office software suite for iPad tablets a day earlier as the company’s new chief moved to expand its Internet cloud footprint. Apple Chief Tim Cook welcomed the offerings from the company’s longtime rival with a tweet of his own, to which Nadella responded at Twitter with thanks and word that he is excited to bring the magic of Office to iPad customers.
