Are we talking about the same company? The only time Apple ports their software to different environments is when they are in a position of weakness (like they were when they reluctantly put iTunes on Windows). I don't think a single Apple iOS app has made it's way to Android, or any new Mac software has been ported to Windows in recent years. You can accuse Microsoft of a lot of things, but they've always been willing to port their software when there is a buck to be made (they are a software company after all).
- raganwald 16y agoI personally see porting something like iWork very differently than porting FaceTime. If they think porting FaceTime will help sell iOS devices, I think Apple will do it for the same reason they ported iTunes. Whereas porting iWork doesn't do anything for selling iOS devices. That being said, this is a guess and that's why I said I would bet on it. If I knew for sure, it would be unethical to bet on the outcome!
