Not me, I'd expect that they employed typesetters, which is a good

Oh god no!  You want your authors to set their own type?!?!  That's
exactly what LaTeX was invented for -- your authors can prepare their
documents, and your typesetters can then easily set the type.

Unfortunately, MS continues to make inroads on killing LaTeX's
professional use.  If they at least would kill it with a competing
system, it wouldn't be so bad.
