Why not just use Office for Mac. It is better than Office for Windows and does not have any translation hang-ups.
In any event, I still think this is not going to happen. Why would Apple compete with Microsoft so directly when it wants Microsoft to continue to develop Office for Mac? Hell, Office for Mac is something that Apple never fails to mention in its advertising to "switchers" -- even is mentioned in the "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials.
I think Apple has to walk a fine line with this stuff -- it needs Microsoft and Adobe to continue to develop for the Mac platform, but also wants to create great apps of its own.
