I believe this is just a speculation. I think it'll take longer before MS will port Office to Linux.

to what toolkit are they going to develop it on? kde? gnome? gdi for
linux? there is no way we will get ms office on linux. Apple and Linux
are two very different beasts.

only the open source community can create an office suite for linux.
and that will not happen until we stop trying to clone ms office.
