We'll see Office for Linux only when Mcirosoft reaches the desperation
point. What did that MS Developer Support manager say a few years back,
"if you're not lcking them in, they're getting away."?

If Microsoft does a version of Office for Linux, that will increase the
rate of the migration off of Windows.  Indeed, now that Apple has a real
OS, I wouldn't be surprised to see MS pull IE and Office support if OS/X
starts showing some signs of life.
