I know that if you fiddle around with the stock release long enough you can get MS Office working on Wine as I have on a number of occasions, but shouldn't making this work for everyone be the highest priority for getting Wine to be adopted more widely?! Or is Wine more targeted to gamers which is mostly what I read about on WineHQ?
My guess: Wine is not a product so it's not targeted to anyone. It's a community project developed by volunteers - and the primary priority of those volunteers is to get Wine to run the applications they want to use. Since there are many nice free & libre cross-platform alternatives to the MS office suite there is just not much incentive to get it to run or keep it running. Games OTOH...
