To first unseat Microsoft, you have to have a relevant market share. Apple does not have that by a country mile.

People are doing an awful lot of personal computing on devices where Office isn't even available. Every single iPad that gets deployed in enterprise is proof that work can get done without full Office compatibility. Microsoft's most powerful marketing tool is the conceit that work can't get done if it isn't Windows and it isn't Office, and mobile is blowing that assumption apart.
