The news from Microsoft MSFT -0.51% on Monday is that it is readying a touch version of its Office software for — gasp! — Apple's AAPL +0.35% iPad before it’s ready for Windows 8-based tablets.
The idea, according to ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, is to launch the new product mid-year as a downloadable subscription app.
The speculation appears to counter a comment last week by Tami Reller at the Goldman Sachs Technology & Internet Conference. Microsoft, she said, was taking a “thoughtful approach” to cross-platform models of Office that could be used on the iPad and Android tablets as well as Windows-based Surface tablets.
