No, no no no no no. What I meant there was Problem solved for cynical corporation to force people to buy their bloated piece of shit office suite in the name of compatibility. Microsoft typography henchmen AscenderCorp will sell you those fonts you get in MS Office for the Mac so you can continue using Pages, NeoOffice etc instead of MS Office, but still maintain fidelity of typography with your MS Office using chums. Oh wait, there is a catch! If you're a home user, you can spend $150 on MS Office (with fonts) or pay $299 for just the fonts. Yeah, you read that right. And even if you're in business, MS Office costs $399. Those must be some nice fonts, as they represent an astonishing 75% of the cost of Office. Does that mean Microsoft is admitting that Office is just a hundred dollar app all along? And how come you get those fonts for free if you download the free viewer software on Windows? Funny that. Honestly, I could spit.
