Hmmmm- that's a very valid point I've missed hehehe!- I don't think M$ holds 
a stake in Apple- but I do know that M$ helped out when Apple almost went 
bust in 1998ish. I also know that the majority of servers in this (in the 
office enviroment anyway) country are UNIX/ Linux based- connected mainly to 
PC's running Windows with Office. It would make perfect sense for Apple to 
incorporate Office (in order to boost sales- especially after the massive 
Apple campaign run over here in the last year- the software licence for M$ 
must be enormous!  Whatever happens, It's another closed chapter from the 
great Emagic book....
