Unbundling Office OSX.

What do you think the chances are that Microsoft might unbundle the individual applications of Office on the Mac so that a user could buy the parts he needs to complete what iWork offers?

I've just placed my order for iWork which includes Keynote and Pages, but I am missing a spreadsheet (theoretically) - why won't Microsoft sell it to me individually?

I've already paid $79 for the other two apps, I am not likely to pay $499 just for a spreadsheet app.

they do excel x on it's own.  Amazon used to sell it, can't see any of the 2004 range of products

Edit:

woops i lied here we go:

Cool - but

Price:

$199.99

Beggars can't be choosers?

More seriously though, I'd heard that Apple was working on a spreadsheet app for its iWork package, code-named "Cells"

And of course all Apple rumors are true...

I think I'd rather wait for Cells than use 2003 at even that price, Cells is almost certainly going to be cheaper than that.  If the whole Office OSX suite was $150 I would probably go for it.
