> if Office existed it could ease the transition somehow for those who need to use Office only

Which makes a big part of the corporate world. Yes, some professions use more exotic or specialized software, but most departments rely on some flavor of Office (mostly Excel with a rickety framework of Visual Basic macros...) for the everyday grunt work. I have tried a couple times to push (smaller) companies towards Linux, but the blocking issue was always the lack of Office. *shrug*

> but why MS should ease that transition?

I agree that would be stupid.
