The fact that they can now use some features that was only found in TeX before is not enough to compete.
Will the documents look good automatically, like they do with TeX? Is ragged-right no longer default?
Or will they look like the garbage word documents usually look like, but now with the option of beating them into shape in "only a 'few' 30-hour debugging sessions"? And then break totally if you move a couple of sections around?
It is possibly to typeset a very nice-looking book in photoshop too. If you lay it out manually, and don't care about the ability to edit it painlessly later. :-/
Somehow, I don't think they'll remove the ruler and font dropdown, because people are so used to having those. And therefore, most word documents will still look screwed up.
