With the iPad likely to be a top selling PC these days, this distinction in the computing world is likely to become less important, even more now that Microsoft announced the release of MS Office apps for Android phones and for the iPad.

It's always interesting when, several years down the road, some business or gov't agency that committed itself to M$Office needs to access a very important document and the file won't open for them in their current version of the MICROS~1 product.
Of course, the solution is to simply open that using ($0 FOSS) OpenOffice/LibreOffice and do a Save As.
