Bill, thanks for the update on Office. It will spur hardware sales.

No it won't.

--You know George, I had been thinking about buying new PCs for everybody, but since the new version of Office 98 will be ahead a few months on the mac, we will instead become a Mac shop.

Yeah right.

A timely release of a decent Office suite for the mac will stop the Mac slide, i.e. it takes away one reason to dump the Mac. The mac is now so deep on niche mode that a new version of Adobe photoshop would spur sales, not a new Office suite.
