We suspect that Siri might have some opinions about installing Microsoft Office on your Mac computer, as she’s pretty protective of her operating system, but who are you going to side with? A digital voice assistant or the over one billion Office users worldwide? Don’t worry, no one will judge you for taking the MS plunge. And if you are tried and true Windows user? It’s all good. We have you covered on both counts.
While Microsoft Office may seem synonymous with Windows, it was actually released on the Mac years before it made its first appearance on Windows, with Bill’s blessing. It seems he was using the Mac as a test site before launching it using his own operating systems. There’s no denying that the relationship between Apple and Microsoft has been rocky. Bill and Steve have had their ups and downs, a love-hate relationship if you will, competing with each other, and working together. Yet it has been said that it seems unlikely that Apple would be where it is today without Microsoft, or vice-versa.
So here we, some 30-plus years later, and the statistics as they apply to Microsoft Office are staggering. Its market share in 2021 was around 47.5%. Over a million businesses worldwide use the software. The number of Teams users went from 20 million in 2019 to 115 million in 2020. It’s all undeniably impressive.
