Could they be sold saparetely?

It's clear that Microsoft have a lot of faith in their product, otherwise it would be crazy to sell something for £400 when there are free online alternatives.

As the article hints, not every user will need all applications; for word processing and email, the free online applications do an excellent job, so one might not bother with MS Word, whereas for Spreadsheets, they might need the safistication Microsoft's Excel.

If Microsoft can unbundle them and sell them for £100 for example, they might reach more people.
