And that there is the bittersweet aftertaste for many downloading Office for Android is free, but to use it you have to pay the subscription of Office 365, which for home users of $ 99.99 per year (Mexico) or 99 per year (Spain).

Not coincidentally arrive Office for Android smartphones only. The reason comes from Microsoft, who wants to value the tablets with Windows 8 , and leave the rest to shame when working with documents. He did it over the iPad, who left in the wrong place for an Asus tablet in a promotional video. In some respects rightly, and in others less, as if he meant that the iPad does not have Office as if it were a problem of Apple, not Microsoft that is who decided not to create the application. Thus, in terms of productivity and versatility, Microsoft wants to make clear that earn the tablets with your operating system.

In fact, in that notice of Office on your blog, and takes care to highlight the benefits of Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 vs. Android when working with Office. Microsoft is aware that you have a product with a market penetration is not too strong to use in your favor . Does Office for Android? Okay, but with paid subscription.
