If we thought that calm had finally arrived in the relationship between Microsoft and Apple with the adaptation of the Office suite to Apple platforms, this is iOS and OS X, the Redmond company is considering whether to celebrate the Office Accreditation Programs to accredit Mac-related Apple experts in Office 2016.
In this way, what they would be doing is prioritizing their system and not that of the competition, which is gradually gaining more importance. With the recent arrival of the iPad Pro, one thing that surprised us is that the Office apps will work better on the iPad than on the Surface, which looks set to change in no time.
Well yes, those of Microsoft They are realizing that they should not give such an open hand to those of Cupertino and it is that they, together with the important improvements that the Office applications for iOS and OS X have suffered, are achieving that Microsoft's products don't sell as much as Apple's.
As we have told you, proof that Microsoft has taken a step back is that the legendary Office Accreditation Programs that are held every year and in which Microsoft trains Apple professionals so that they are accredited and can give official Office support on both Macs and iOS, they hang by a thread and it is not at all clear that this year they will happen.
The person in charge of Microsoft has declared before the questions of several means that:
Microsoft is "evaluating options" for this year.
We will see if this is finally nothing more than a setback for Microsoft in terms of the management of the Office Accreditation Programs and not something to go against the company with the bitten apple.
