How to make a Daemon application?

At what point does it make strategic sense for Microsoft to start making application software(Office) and application development software(Visual Studio) for the leading platforms of our time - Android and iOS?

  • Microsoft is primarily a software based company making money off of both application software - Office and the likes, system software - Operating Systems(Windows for desktops, tablets, servers) and Application development software - Visual Studio, SQL server and the likes. Seeing that Windows 8 is struggling in theĀ  phone and the general tablet space. But they are no longer the leading vendor of the next generation of devices being bought by consumers. Hence the question above.

  • Answer:

    I'd argue never. Visual Studio / Office both require lots of typing. Most iOS and Android devices are not very well suited for typing lots of text. If people start using iOS and Android tablets with keyboards that aren't purely touch then perhaps it makes sense then.
