Honorable mention: The jury is out for me on Linux, I’m learning my way around it so ill reserve judgement, but i do run it on my Mac via parallels. AND competition will help keep them both on their toes a win/win in my book. People often fail to realize that its not that these two companies are pandering to two different demographics, its two different workloads. But I design on my Mac, and I manage my life on my iPad and i am open to the idea of a larger iPad allowing me to do some design work on it, though skeptical. I crunch numbers on a PC, I game(usually on a PC), and i own a surface which is the BEST network support tool I have. I believe in the right tool for the right job. I don’t see any other tablets OR laptops that are (albeit slower) completely usable. Think about it: people are just now replacing there iPad 2. Whereas apple users have come to accept lower specs and sometimes limitations on functionality for the sake of longevity and user/customer experience. At the moment of purchase – the surface has better specs and what not, but that loses relevancy about a year in when the surface starts to become “Last gen” and becomes unstable/slow. Microsoft updated its iOS Office apps last month, and yesterday launched a new iOS scheduling app. The company has not yet revealed exactly what will happen when an iPad Pro user attempts to run the apps. The 10.1-inch cutoff appears in the licensing terms for both Windows and Android devices, but not yet for iOS – presumably because Microsoft was a little slow to respond to the announcement of the iPad Pro. But above that threshold and it’s not a “true mobile device” any longer, it’s something else entirely, and it will need an Office 365 subscription as a result … Anything below 10.1 inches is a “ true mobile device” and as such qualifies for free access to the core editing capabilities.

That’s because Microsoft defines a 10.1 inch cutoff. Office on the iPad Pro will require an Office 365 subscription for any and all editing. Two engineers created NeoOffice in 2003 when they made OpenOffice run natively on OS X for the first time.Current iPad owners can download Microsoft Office apps free of charge, using them for both viewing and basic editing – but that won’t be the case with the iPad Pro, Microsoft told arsTechnica.

With NeoOffice, you can view, edit, and save OpenOffice documents, LibreOffice documents, and simple Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. NeoOffice is an office suite for Mac that is based on OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
