Clearly there will always be "office" apps that don't work, the question for the code freeze is whether we have all the pieces we need; I don't think there's a major feature at this point that would prevent typical office apps from working.
COM has enough problems still to prevent a lot of big apps from installing, I think. I'd like to see that more solid before we declare 1.0.
How about msvcr80 / sxs support? There seem to be a number of office apps that need that feature now. (Anything 2007-ish from Microsoft, probably.) I haven't been following it to see what's up there, but I do know I bump into apps that don't work yet because of it.
Does .net support count? About ten apps in Bugzilla don't install because of that, including some fairly big-name ones. Don't know if any of them are office apps offhand, though. - Dan
