As you might expect, it’s fully compatible with all office suite formats, open and proprietary.
#WPS OFFICE SOURCE CODE FOR MAC#
WPS Office 2020, released this week in the UK (look out for a full in-depth review this week) looks redolent of the versions of Office that run locally: think Office 2019 for Mac and Windows, rather than their Office 365 variants. That’s what’s happening in the case of KingSoft, whose office suite for Mac goes up against the ubiquitous Microsoft Office. It’s a common enough event, then, when a Chinese company chooses to go overtly head-to-head with a big Western software product. It has developed India-specific features in the version 10 iteration of the MIUI platform, with support for local favorites in that country, like Paytm and Flipkart, plus baked-in QR code readers, which too are wildly popular on the Indian subcontinent (and Asia). Xiaomi is clearly aware of these geographically-based requirements. Where the Chinese exports can fail these days is that their handsets don’t (without rooting) get access to Google Play, and therefore to the huge repository of software now considered standard, if not vital, in the US, Europe and most of Asia. The bar is lowered by many flavors of Android being hobbled by the vendor-specific bloatware that many phones ship with- even the vagaries of MIUI aside, powerful hardware and a passing-fair OS makes for a pretty attractive package. The MIUI operating system that runs pre-installed on many shipping Xiaomi smartphones is best described as a skinned Android “plus”, but is largely thought to be half-decent, comparatively. Sure, for some exports, Chinese software might be seen as a limitation, but what the Chinese industry is good at, without doubt, is assimilating and adapting.
