<If everybody already has Office, that doesn't say much for Microsoft's prospects going forward, does it?> That's my point. Office is a mature, saturated market. That is why MSFT is diversifying, moving into server and workstation software read as attacking Sun in the enterprise, as well as setting the infrastructure for service delivery. Hence the 12 billion dollars or so in telecomm deals and the 4 billion or so in R&D and marketing to monetize those deals. Sun servers may do PCs, but only over MSFTs dead body(s). That is like Sun selling Excel to its customers.
