But at the same time, if PC apps ran natively under OSX, Apple wouldn't 
need Microsoft to develop a Mac version of Office any more, would they? 
;-D

All speculation of course. We need more water to pass under the bridge 
before we'll truly know.

I'd be willing to bet that Apple doesn't include it by default (so as 
not to upset Microsoft), although you never know who is helping with 
WINE's development.

Apple would prefer to keep VirtualPC -- a commercial, supported 
application -- around, especially since it brings in money for the 
same company that brings Office to Mac.
