Because, just by spreading this tiny bit of FUD, they'll keep almost all Fortune 500 companies firmly nestled against the teat that is MS Office. No company is going to risk going to court against MS. MS has enough $$ and lawyers to bankrupt most companies with legal bills by keeping them in court for years.
