Sure, we should have a meeting with them
1 don't think there is any chance we would agree with that business model
We run the store, we collect the revenue

launch.
> Here's the take aways:
> - Al of the iOS and Mac products will be folded into the greater Office launch. Eric's
team is responsible for engineering so all of the marketing for the launch of Office will be
handled by the Office marketing VP, Kirk Koenigsbauer (as a result, Eric may not be
able to share as much info going forward because all of this has to go through the
marketing team). Il be meeting with their marketing folks on Tuesday.

> - They will not be able to share anything publicly about Office on iOS or Mac Office in
the WWDC timeframe. Eric said i's too early for them since they are changing their
launch timing to more closely model ours. They are holding their cards close until they
are much closer to shipping than they've done in the past.
>
> - They want us to think about an idea they have to handle signing up for subscriptions
for Office from within their iOS app. Instead of using IAP, they would like to send users
out to their "sign-up for Office” website. They would then give us percentage of the
revenue for each user that signs up for an account that comes from our devices.
>
> Their rationale is that they want to be able to have a consistent experience for signing
up users (assume they can present offers for students, individuals, businesses etc.) and
sill have us receive a portion of the revenue as we would if they used IAP. They know
that the current guidelines won't allow this but wanted to float it

> I'l be able to get more info when I talk to their marketing team on Tuesday.
> Finally, William and Eric wanted to see if you and Eddy would like to meet again with
them and Kirk Koenigsbauer later this month to discuss the business model and launch.
