Office for Mac (does Microsoft really need to sell Mac software?)

Huh? Why would they give up on the Mac version of their extremely profitable software line? That'd give one heck of a boost to OpenOffice and iWork. I would think they'd sell it at a loss just to prevent that. (But, again, I'd be really surprised if it isn't really profitable)

People buying Macs are a threat to Windows. Even the idea that there exists an alternative to Windows is a threat to Windows.

People discovering alternatives to MS Office is an even bigger threat. Office is where the big money is.
