I'm saying they will not put out a version of Office that does not have direct access to the Windows APIs. I'm not saying they don't have qualified people, but that they are not capable- that is not how Microsoft as an entity operates. IE: Microsoft has access to programmers that are capable of it, buy Microsoft as an organism is incapable of doing it. Office with direct access to Win32 is not Java. Until Windows is Dead and Microsoft has to put Office on Java to survive, it is not capable of doing so-- for the purpose of the companies' existence is to further Windows. Ok, I understand what you're saying.
