There is a gigantic market for basic office work that can be done in the Google apps, the Apple apps or the OpenOffice apps just as well as in Microsoft Office. Nobody cares if you think that isn’t ‘real’ work and if Microsoft thinks it's safe because they have the only product for ‘real work’ they are in for a rude awakening. They aren’t however, they have their own online suite that can’t do ‘real work’ either but works good enough for a lot of people.
