Perhaps you're assuming that if the iPhone didn't exist, its users would all be on WM devices? I don't think thats accurate at all, given how rabidly most of them avoid MS products. The same goes for Office on Mac OSX. Why wouldn't MS want to maximise its profitability by making it available for all platforms? Its not like 10 years ago where the lack of Office available for Mac could have swayed people to use Windows instead, these days they could just fire up OpenOffice or Google Documents. Microsoft is a huge company, so its unsurprising that specific departments have a certain amount of autonomy and intend to make money!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MatthewJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2008 6:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft sifting through iPhone SDK, apps a possibility]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/microsoft-sifting-through-iphone-sdk-apps-a-possibility/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/microsoft-sifting-through-iphone-sdk-apps-a-possibility/</guid><description><![CDATA[MS is not a cross-platform company.  They pay only lip service to cross platform interoperability but they have history of taking a standard and applying their own proprietary hooks to keep you locked in.<br><br>I've never used it personally, but I'm told by people who do, that Mac Office only contains a subset of the functionality that Windows office has.<br><br>I'm curious to know what, if anything, MS will bring to the iPhone.  But whatever that "thing" is, it likely will not have all of the functionality of it's Windows Mobile equivalent unless it serves MS's SOP of locking you in somehow.  IMO, It's more likely that they have a few engineers looking to see what they can copy and attempt to do similarly or better.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Randy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2008 6:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft sifting through iPhone SDK, apps a possibility]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/microsoft-sifting-through-iphone-sdk-apps-a-possibility/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/microsoft-sifting-through-iphone-sdk-apps-a-possibility/</guid><description><![CDATA[Microsoft copies?
