agree in part...
"...If the decision is made that Mac OS is becoming a threat in any way to their business model, then poof, MS Office is gone..."

i agree with this but that is NOT the case NOW and as is stands NOW, Office for mac is a cheap way to provide cover to MS against anti trust scrutiny.. in fact it's beyound cheap... it actually turns a modest profit
