    What about… A new Office software for Mac? :(

    How about opening up Office for iOS to non-OneDrive file storage options to make it comply with local privacy laws of other countries, and making it a one-time purchase instead of a bloody monthly subscription?

    Microsoft = Adobe = CROOKS

      spot on.

      The first one will be added this fall – Apple showed a screenshot of Microsoft’s updated Word for iOS, and it supports multiple storage options (OneDrive, Box, Dropbox and iCloud Drive, if I remembered correctly). I agree with your second opinion.

  3. I really think microsoft won’t spent too much on a new Office Mac because they are pushing towards Office 365 and you only build one software works on both platforms.
