What I think they might stumble with is their greedy licensing policy. This is a good point, and quite possibly correct, particularly when it comes to Microsoft Office. Microsoft wants to enforce a better copy protection scheme while keeping the same old high price. They forget that the only reason a user agrees to fork $120 for MS Office is that he can install it at work, home and the laptop, so it comes to $120 per copy. In your previous message I thought you were talking about stumbling in the technical aspects. I don't see much chance of that happening, and don't let yourself be mislead by early reports of failures. Those get fixed in the X.01a release of every software package...
