Quite the contrary: people do want office on a phone. They don't want to write documents on it though.
They want Outlook to be the same as their desktop (which it is).
They want integrated calendars and contacts (which they are) so they can maintain their schedule on the road.
They want to view documents straight up without some third party piece of shit viewer that can't render anything properly (which they can).
They want their OneNote notebooks (which they can have).
Not only that the whole shebang actually works 100% flawlessly.
- Nursie 13y agoSeriously, I've never come across anyone that cares about document viewing on a phone, and I've worked in some huge enterprises. All the rest can be and is done flawlessly by any of the other OS's out there. Win phone has no killer feature. If it did we'd see people actually using it.
- Piskvorrr 13y agoWell, now you have me as a data point, I care ;) Alas, I need to open "exotic" formats like OpenOffice spreadsheets as well (I don't really get a say on what format lands in my inbox): on Android, I have chosen amongst the 3 paid apps which can do this (yes, there are also 30 others, but as noted above, 90% of _anything_ is crap); on WP, I'd be SOL as _MS_ Word only handles...wait for it..._MS_ Office formats. Yay, vendor lock-in! (Although to be fair, since the last month, there _is_ now a rudimentary converter on the WP store)
