Yep, with windows 10 being free they seem more interested in data than sale of large software suites (at least for consumer). For business I think they are going to keep focusing on making sure there is some version of office worth $200 per computer and nerfing it in ways where at least a few business want the "premium" office.
Businesses will always pay extra for support which is where even Linux based companies make most of their dollars. So if thats tied into the premium model it's much easier for them.

I still think open source will be a Trojan horse for Microsoft.
