Hmmm, that's in interesting thing... but you know what? The folks in
Redmond can't FUD Linux, and, if they've got any smarts-- they'll follow
the old cliche-- "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em..."
If Office DOES get to be released for Linux, I more than likely won't try
it because of Microsoft's notorious history for emitting "bugware". I
don't like bugware. I use it as little as possible. However--- there
would be that hint of curiosity in me that would want to see for myself
how reliable it is-- and I would probably buy it and try it on one of my
non-important Linux testing boxes =)... Only time will tell...
