So at what level of abstraction does this apply?

Is Office an essential service? Nah.

The OS might not be... hence the SilverThreadLicense (sm).

Just wait - BIOS makers are going to adopt the SilverThreadLicense (sm).

Next, Transmeta/{Intel et al} is going to adopt this licensing model for
their morphing code/microcode.

Who's flying now?
