微软iPad版Office，采用免费增值服务的商业模式，为苹果平板引入完整的办公套件Word、PowerPoint和 Excel。
苹果也在其应用商店主页推销这款iPad Office。
iPad版Office支持触摸屏控制，这款应用可免费从应用商店下载，但是如果想要编辑或创建新文档，则需购买Office 365服务，一年订阅费用99美元。

Following the debut of Microsoft Office for the iPad earlier today, Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to Twitter to endorse the launch and congratulate recently appointed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Microsoft Office for iPad brings the complete office suite of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to Apple"s tablets with a freemium business model.
Apple is also promoting Office on the App Store"s homepage。
The applications are free to download from the App Store if you simply want to view documents, but if you want to edit and share, that will be a $99 Office 365 annual subscription fee.
Tim Cook"s mention of the launch is not unprecedented. In the early days of Apple, Steve Jobs frequently praised Office for Mac, and Microsoft and Apple were famously early partners in the software world. Today"s launch represents the next step in the business relationship and the advancement of technological platforms from the mouse and keyboard-controlled Mac to touchscreen tablets.
