In my mind Microsoft doesn't really need to do anything to accomodate the Open Source community. If it keeps making badly flawed software it will end up killing itself. Office XP costs 800$ if you arn't an academic that means it should be at least 160 times better than Open Office in terms of functionality, installation, use of system resources, etc. Or 10 times better than Star Office 6.0. It isn't.
