Satya Nadella's first big move as Microsoft CEO is Office for iPad
NEW DELHI: Microsoft took its time but it has finally accepted that iPad and iPhone are popular devices. On Thursday it announced a change in how it offers its services and said that MS Office is now available to iPad users.

In his first major press conference as CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella said that Microsoft will work to serve "users and organisations across devices" and not just those who use a computer or tablet powered by Windows. As the first example of Microsoft's new direction, Nadella then announced that the company is bringing MS Office, a popular productivity suite, to iPad.

The Office suite includes separate apps for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and will be available on the App Store starting 11:30pm IST.

The three Office apps will be free to download and will allow reading and presenting without the need to subscribe to Office 365. A subscription will also enable editing features.
