MS WRITES OFFICE MAC TO APPEASE REGULATORS, NOT MAKE MONEY
...they really don't make much on it, frankly. It's profitable, but only
barely. They agreed to comtinue selling it for five years as part of
their agreement with the Justice Dept. in the anti-trust case they
"lost". last year they re-committed for at least another 5 (now 4)
years of Office for Mac.
