The key seller for Office, in business, is Word + Excel and Outlook + Exchange. The key seller for Excel, is VBA. Whether you like it or not, the vast majority of businesses with more than a few people use Excel and VBA Macros. The company I work at provides a large scale financial solution to people and we have hundreds of client businesses. All of them use VBA Macros. Sadly, I spend a large amount of each day modifying them to suit their latest requests.
Does Google Apps offer VBA or something like it? Does Live Documents? Does OpenOffice? I'm pretty sure they don't (but admit to being too lazy to fact check this).
So it's game-over for businesses. Have fun with the Mums and Dads and teenagers but they're never going to pay you more than a few peanuts. Until you can match VBA in applications, MSO wins.
Nonsense. They asked him to provide them with information he had no legal way to be in possession of, nor to transfer. They asked him to commit a crime. That's accessory, my friend.
Example: If I tell you to provide me with Rio Tinto's secret environment impact analysis report on a Uranium mine and you cough it up, but I know full well you don't work for Rio Tinto public relations, then I also know full well it's a stolen report. Even if someone gave it to you, they & you have no permission to pass it on to me.

Ah, so you work for Duke Nukem Forever?
Clearly the best game ever made.

This is exactly the same.
