Run Windows 7 And MS Office On Apple iPad With OnLive Desktop App

On January 13, 2012, by Sid

Ever wanted to try some of the Microsoft Office Suite applications on your Apple iPad? Well, you can now, thanks to the OnLive Desktop app for the iPad. Microsoft Windows, even though Mac users hate it, has some good and amazing business applications. To name a few, Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint will work on the iPad. Heck, a virtual Windows 7 client will also run on the iPad with the help of OnLive app.

So, how does this app work? The creators of the app have hosted a virtual Windows 7 OS on the cloud and then streams the whole thing to your iPad. Surprisingly, the app works great, but only if you have registered for an account at www.onlive.com/desktop. Watch the app in action after the break.

And this isn’t some shred down version of Office apps, it’s the full version with all the features. You do have to pay a monthly fee to access their servers and use Office suite on your iPad.

OnLive® Desktop is a service that provides a seamless, no-compromise, instant-response cloud-based PC desktop, wherever and whenever you want it. OnLive brings to your iPad a high-performance PC experience, regardless of the content, even when interacting with fast-action media.
