No argument there
Although I wouldn't call completely rewriting Office "easy", making the applications modular would be an excellent way to streamline them without users losing functionality. That does, of course, make the licensing much more complex, unless the application comes with all functionality but the user only installs the desired "pieces". Then there would still be people complaining about having to pay for functionality they don't want. Would we really want to see 10 or 20 different prices for Office?
