“Gentlemen: should we make Office for the iPad.”
“Nobody’s going to type their resume on a touchscreen.”
“Two words: keyboard dock. And when someone makes a case with a flip-out keyboard, I mean, shit dawg.”
“Regardless: it would legitimize and strengthen the platform. We should not.”
“The iPod didn’t need any legitimizing from us. And it proved that our file format can be dominant on 99% of the models in a particular market, but if all the sales go to the other 1%, it’s completely irrelevant. Anyway the ongoing dominance of Office is dependent on its availability on all mainstream computing platforms.”
“Then we should get to work on it.”
“There is no way that it can get done in under two years. iWork is on it today. For $10.”
“Then we had better hope the tablet division is successful in getting that… foldy thing done. I’m sure it won’t take as long to launch as our iPhone-killer, and I’m equally sure it will be equally superior to the iPad.”
“Wait, the foldy-thing is real? I thought it was a doodle someone threw together with no real intention of producing.”
“That’s what your mom said.”
“Touché. When’s the launch?”
“I dunno, ask someone from the Xbox division. What do we do about the iPad in the meantime?”
“LA LA LA LA LA”
