Microsoft is taking over my iPhone
Business Insider
Over the last year, Microsoft's acquisition strategy has been to buy the best mobile productivity apps. The latest is Wunderlist, a to-do list app Microsoft officially acquired on Tuesday. It's my favorite way to keep up with what I have to do each day both at work and in my personal life.
With the Wunderlist acquisition, Microsoft now owns three of the most important apps on my iPhone's home screen: Sunrise (the best calendar app), Outlook (formerly known as Acompli, which is the best email app), and Wunderlist (the best app for managing to-do lists and other tasks).

There's a better alternative for every Apple-made app, and Microsoft is snapping them up one by one.
Microsoft altered its mission last year to make people more productive no matter what device they use. Part of that process is making sure it has great apps on your home screen, even if those apps were originally made by third parties. And so far, it's picking nothing but winners.
