I don't understand you. First you say
<q>
There's no *technical* reason, however, why somebody can't go out and
implement an alternative office suite. (Apart perhaps from file
compatibilty.) Yet nobody has done this. So everybody has to buy MS
Office, because no alternative exists.

So, when you say there's no alternative to MSOffice, do you mean there's no
alternative to MSOffice that is *as good or better than* MSOffice? Well,
someone has to be the best (at least from individual's POV). MSOffice
doesn't need to be perfect/"fantastic", but if even a career critique like
yourself admits it works the best, then case closed: MS is obviously doing
something right.
