> Office for Linux

If they honestly released a top notch version of Office for Linux would you, in 2018 where most have switched to Google Docs or other web based office tools actually use it?

I very much doubt it. I feel you're just reeling these things off as some burden of work you want them to toil away at as a debt you expect them to pay to the Linux community.




99% of the people I know use MS Office. Maybe 20% use google Docs but not as their main office suite.

If they did release Office for Linux, I'd use it for work, since everyone uses it there.

I don't think they owe anyone anything. I'm just saying if they claim to love open source or Linux, then they need to prove it.
