Google Apps, Clay Bavor, product development director explained in statements to V3 not planning to develop dedicated applications for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 of some of its products, like Gmail or Drive. The reason is in the company does not believe that there is interest from users in these platforms, by what prefer to focus their efforts on other products that will reach more people.


"We have no plans to build Windows applications", declared the directing to this medium. "We're very careful with the sites in which we invest and go there where they are users, but they are not Windows Phone or Windows 8", ruled.

Therefore, users of Microsoft operating systems will have to resort to these services web versions, at least until the search engine change idea. But even if they do not close the door in any way to its presence in the Windows ecosystem, this will only happen if they perceive a real demand. "If this changes, we will invest there, of course".

However, Bavor, who has worked at Google since 2005, seemed to ignore that there are other applications of the company's products that are available in Windows 8, as in the Finder. Moreover, it came to the store before the event of the launch of the operating system, on October 24.

Anyway, will continue with its investment in this market, whose importance grows as the cloud, makes it because it is the only way (or the more practical) maintain an experience synchronized between different terminals.

"The cloud is no longer a mystery. "Virtually all companies with which we talk about is carrying out a monumental change that everyone does not already use one or two devices, but that sometimes reached five with tablets, laptops, smart phones and desktops", explained.
