No Ax--is it worth it?
Sounds to me like there'd be some significant training time and
costs in implementing such a system, not to mention the high
costs of building the infrastructure to actually use it. Each
company would have to seriously investigate the costs versus
the benefits of doing so. Given that most companies are going
to stick with the status quo anyway, I still don't see these
features as being so overwhelming that companies will
stampede out to buy the new version of Office. Granted, some
will, but most will not even think about implementing something
along the lines of what you've suggested, at least not for several
years until it's proven its effectiveness, if it ever does.

And as I said before, regardless of this, the product will still be
wildly profitable.
