>>You yourself mentioned about the EULA issues they'd have to face... Just to show a demo. But here is an old video where they'd demoed Windows apps running on different device including an iPad. So if they have showed that, and the market is mostly Windows owned especially on the enterprise level? That is all they really need to make it.>>
Thanks for this. Just watched this video and guess what? They don't run any apps other than a word processor. And they don't print either or use any advanced functions.
As a matter of fact, though they claim to show an install of Microsoft Office and Word, they don't actually run any Microosft software. They run Thunderbird.
This video is from Feb 2014, and is almost exactly the same demo they just did during the Microsoft podcast. They are really moving the chains down the field! Ha Ha Ha!
Two full years and they are still demonstrating some little known open source word processor almost no one uses. Why not demonstrate Microsoft Word? Why not demonstrate PowerPoint? Or Skype?
And typing some characters on an iPad does not mean it is usable. Try using some of the advanced functions. Lets not forget that five months after this video was taken, Corel pulled thir Gassware based solution becuase it was crap. And couldn't print.
Microsoft just released Word for the ipad and it has most but not all functions of a full PC based Word install. And its free!!!

I'll wager that if Microsoft can't deliver a 100% equivalent user experience this little mom and pop company didn't either.
Why the heck do I need Gassware if I can get a full native version on my iPad?
