Did Microsoft really go on stage during the Apple event? Yes, they did! Apple's Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller said, "It'd be great to have a developer come and show us what's possible with professional productivity. And who to know better about productivity than Microsoft?"
Kirk Koenigsbauer, Corporate Vice President from Microsoft Office, went on stage to demo Office on Apple's new iPad Pro. Re-watch the video here in case you missed it.
Kirk shows off editing a table on the Word app and multitasking with Excel using iOS's multiwindow capabilities. He showed how easy it was to copy a chart from Excel and paste it into a Word document and Powerpoint presentation. Kirk also explained how you can use the Apple Pencil with the Office apps on iOS.
Koenigsbauer ends the presentation by saying,
"At Microsoft, we really believe that bringing together the iPad Pro with Microsoft Office, the ink, the multitasking capabilities will really transform the way people work on these kinds of devices."
