The looming threat to Windows is the post-"PC" device space. The mobile Office offerings on iOS definitely leave much to be desired, and there's an opening for a "mobile-first" approach to data that extends to the future of human-computer interfaces

Who is working in a "mobile-first" office, though? Last I saw, almost everyone is still working in an office where people use PCs - some with Macbooks, perhaps, but still not many. The mobile use case for Office is making quick changes to a document or reading something you've been sent, not your everyday work.

Is there serious competition for Office in the post-PC device space?

I love my iPad for entertainment but I can't imagine doing any real work on an iPad.
