If they do stop developing these, there are plenty of alternatives, and instead of just telling you to use MS, people may have to consider compatibility. For documents you can use HTML or RTF (which is an MS format, but an open one) for formatted text. AppleWorks, and OpenOffice spring to mind as current capable office apps, but there are many more that would come out of the woodwork if MS stopped smothering them with OEM installs. But I don't really believe MS will pull out unless Jobs deliberately pushes them. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
