Microsoft has really screwed the pooch on this whole Office365 subscription thing. Yes, you can make it work now by signing out, signing in, whatever, but it is all a precursor to their big April 1 switch when you will have to have an Office 365 subscription to use office-lite on your phone when you are connected to a larger screen.
The bugs inherent in Office Mobile are what is causing our phones to have no freaking clue what kind of screen they are displaying on, and there is no doubt in my mind that come April 1 users will be having endless problems with office apps.
And for what? a measly Windows Mobile marketshare of office 365 subscripts.
If I use my ipad mirrored to my TV, do I have to pay extra use Pages, Numbers, or Keynote? No.
If I use my Samsung Galazy tab mirrored to my tv, do I have to use Google Docs to edit files? No.
Apple and Google saw these products and decided that they were an enticement to getting users to purchase their IOS and Android devices.
Microsoft? Nope, they decide that its is worth antagonizing the few remaining users they have left to grab a few bucks before Windows Mobile goes the way of the dinosaur.
Office Mobile is NOT a full office. Even on Continuum. It is a cool, but ultimately watered down experience that will serve in a pinch for a quick edit or presentation. Instead of taking an interesting feature and trumpeting it to get people interested in their phones, they chose to try and monetize a captive audience of a whopping 2.5 percent of the mobile market.
If I were in charge of Microsoft I would gather the idiots who made this decision and invite them to a meeting with my ipad connected to a big screen television and show them a Keynote Presentation with embedded Pages docs and Numbers spreadsheets and then beat them all over the head with an android tablet.
