Microsoft's Office for iPad team has taken to Reddit to conduct an AMA and is providing new details about it's future plans for Office including Android plans and a new version of Office for OS X.



From Neowin:
There are a lot of other good bits in the AMA, such as an acknowledgement that an updated version of Office of Mac is in the works and that they will be bringing Office to other platforms, such as Android. All of this shouldn't be a surprise. Office took a long time to create, as it’s not a trivial process to create robust productivity applications for a new platform, which means that the work was done under Ballmer’s direction.

What we don’t know is how long the apps have been completed and if Ballmer would have held back the apps until the Windows version was ready for release. While we will likely never know this answer, know that Office for the iPad was a Ballmer decision and a Nadella introduction.
