To kowtow to the fear of backlash from one group of people to deprive all others is wrong IMO.
Yeah, but you still don't have an argument unless Microsoft announces that it will be taken out. Making assumptions like that are sometimes correct, and that's fine, but basing an entire argument on something that you have no proof of isn't the way to victory. If they do take it out, then I'll definitely have a different opinion on the matter. But right now, they simply haven't suggested, implied, or said that it's going to be removed after the next SP or Office comes out.
