All Things Digital is reporting that Microsoft is “looking at” bringing its Office productivity suite through the Mac App Store. This could boost the new marketplace for Mac OSx applications modeled on Apple’s successful iOS App Store.
“It’s something we are looking at,” Microsoft’s Amanda Lefebvre told Mobilized. However, the company said its product is already available in lots of places as well as via the Webincluding in a new, free 30-day trial version.
“It’s something we haven’t ruled out,” she said. “We just have to see how that relates to our business.”
It is unclear how Microsoft will deal with Apple’s restrictions on Mac App Store content and Apple’s standard 30% cut of revenue. Soon after the iPad was introduced early last year, Microsoft made a similar attempt to bring Office to the iPad, but Apple decided not to make the move and go forth with it.
