The point I was trying to make is that MS Office doesn't support the 
requirements of the Home Access project whereas OOo does.

Which means that unless Microsoft pull their finger out, there's going 
to be a shed load of machines shipped without MS Office by default and 
more likely OOo/StarOffice/That IBM Office suite etc installed instead.
