Microsoft announced today that non-commercial users of their mobile Office apps will no longer require an active Office365 subscription in order to edit documents. By "non-commercial," they mean anything not stored on OneDrive for business or Dropbox for business. For anyone that has had to look into licensing their Office365 product, this should come as no surprise. Why anyone would pay their exorbitant licensing fees simply to have edit functionality in a mobile app when there are plenty of free and low-cost solutions out there simply mystifies me. I could see the argument for some desktop users, but who is really going to work on a complex spreadsheet or powerpoint on a mobile device?Microsoft's next surprise is free Office for iPad, iPhone, and Android | The Verge
