He is saying that there is a version of MS Office for the Macintosh, but 
there isn't a version of MS Office for Linux.  

Though I understand that there are work-arounds to get Office to run 
under Linux.

However, I don't necessarily agree that MS Office is OS X's biggest 
advantage over Linux.  For one thing, OS X has a huge library of 
applications that Linux can't come close to matching.
