The following OEMs have agreed with Microsoft to pre-install Office Apps

Sometime ago, we announced that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is coming pre-installed with Microsoft Apps – OneNote, OneDrive, Office Mobile (with a free Office 365 subscription), and Skype. Microsoft further extended the agreement with Samsung to pre-install these apps on their tablets.

Microsoft has taken further steps to forge partnerships with more OEM’s to pre-install Skype and other Office Apps. Below is the list in alphabetical order (most notably Sony and LG) :

• Axdia International GMBH – Germany
• Cube – China
• DL – Brazil
• General Procurement – United States
• Grupo Nucleo – Argentina
• Haier – China
• Inco – Mexico
• Ionik GBMH – Germany
• Iview – United States and Latin America
• LG – Global
• Multilaser – Brazil
• Noblex – Argentina
• Pacific (Vulcan) – Mexico
• Philco – Argentina
• Positivo – Brazil
• Prestigio – EMEA
• Sony – Global
• Teclast – China
• TMAX Digital – North America
• Wortmannn – Germany

Microsoft has actively taken steps to proliferate their services on other platforms, not forgetting the impending launch of Cortana on iOS and Androids. We watch to see how far these partnerships will go.
