Qi Lu, executive in charge of applications and services, also suggested that the Office suite of applications would eventually be available on the iPad. He said that the company was working on 'touch first' versions of core Office applications including Excel, Word and Outlook. These would initially be available on Windows devices, before extending to platform that were 'ready and financially sensible'. CFO Amy Good used the meeting to explain that Microsoft would start reporting quarterly financial data in five new blocks based around themes in October, rather than products such as Windows or Office.
