Exactly. If you have a powerful mobile device and want to punt it to business/corporates, sadly OOo just isn't going to be of any interest. Hopefully that attitude will change, but not soon so getting MS Office on Nokia devices, hopefully Maemo devices, makes a great deal of sense.
Unfortunately, it sounds like Microsoft are making the same deal to have MS Office on competing devices too so it's a valuable "tick in the box" for Nokia but not something that will differentiate them from everyone else.
