Microsoft have done a great job bringing Office to all platforms of late. I'm not sure how many people here have used Office Online, but I've used it a few times and it is one well built application. Works just as fast as a native application, looks great and I didn't encounter any limits compared to that of the desktop suite. I used Google Docs for most things, but I will admit I think Microsoft have always had the better product on their hands.
I read something a little while ago that highlighted the fact Office is still very much a money maker for Microsoft (office environments and educational institutes love Microsoft Office). Quite clearly it makes sense a product that makes you a tidy sum should work on multiple platforms: more eyes = more money.
I think we are all witnessing a new era for Microsoft. Pushing Office far and wide for all devices and environments is a strategy they should have adopted years ago. Better late then never.
