Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office, also simply called "Office", is a suite of applications developed by Microsoft for Mac and Windows. Apple's own competitor to Microsoft Office is the iWork suite of applications, now available for free separately.

In October 2022 Microsoft announced that Office.com, the Office mobile apps for iOS and Android, and the Office app for Windows will be rebranded as "Microsoft 365", in line with its existing service, while the standalone version of Office 2021  will retain the "Office" branding.
