Load up Office '97 on a computer today and compare it to Google docs - even 20 years ago Office was more fully featured than their most viable competitor is today (real time collaboration excluded).
Then think about all the good work that was done over the last 20 years, and how that really solid base turned into the best mobile office solution.
Office has an extremely deep moat and their continued O365 efforts are deepening it.
