Not necessarily true, I've worked on applications where a servers ability to dynamically create M$ documents is a cool feature, imagine a servelet which returned an xls workbook reporting on data from an ODBC datasource (maybe sales figures or contact details), people in M$ centered offices lap that up, particularly if it can include VBS macros providing an update path and other client-server features. There you have a client's (admitedly simple) route into a non M$ environment which doesn't frighten the children or use ODBC or any non M$ application on the client side. d.
