Re: [TCLUG:4711] Rumors of MS Office port to linux (you got to be kidding)

[serge@egel2.med.umn.edu (Serge M. Egelman)]

Well this would make sense since Microsoft's main competition in terms of
Office Suites is Corel (which has already ported to linux).  However, I
would think this is rather sutpid of them with the whole anti-trust trial
going on right now.  Also, most people who use linux aren't particularly
thrilled with MS products to begin with (well I'm not anyway).

just my $.02
