* A new, standardized document format that's trivial for hackers to open up and play with.
* More stability across the board
* New products added (OneNote is lovely for instance)
* More stable rendering - gone are the days (for me at least) where saving, closing and re-opening a Word document had things moving around
* Much more reliable saving and document recovery
* Creating Office Live and bringing it up to date with the new Windows family (Metro interface etc) which to me is a strong indicator they're not going to drop it any time soon
And of course, if it's great and you use it and they do drop it, you can just import your documents into Google Docs or <insert competitor software here> and get on with editing them.
