Windows On Your iPad App

Want to run Windows including your favorite MS Office applications like Word and Excel on your iPad? How about running PC Games like Minecraft and Call of Duty? There's an app for that and it's free--you don't even have to own Windows or buy one.

The new OnLive app, which will be in the iTunes store on January 12, 2012,  turns your iPad into a powerful cloud PC which streams a Windows desktop onto the the iPad along with MS Office applications.



iPad users will now be able to securely view and edit cloud-hosted documents with full-featured Windows desktop applications like Microsoft Office, just as if they were using a local high-performance PC.

Multi-touch gestures respond instantly and smoothly, while HD videos, animations and PC video games—-never before usable on a remote desktop—-play seamlessly.

The app offers multi-touch gesture control that responds instantly, but there's also a full on-screen Windows keyboard and handwriting recognition.

--Steve Perlman, OnLive's CEO

The free verison of the OnLive Desktop app comes with 2 GB of secure cloud storage and access to a cloud-based Windows 7 desktop pre-populated with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus several utilities and touch games.

A 'Pro' version will offer 50GB of Cloud storage, web browsing and more PC applications such as games.
