“LinuxCare’s Tyde reveals Microsoft could be developing a
version of Office for the Linux platform….”
“”I have heard there are 34 developers working at Microsoft to
develop a version of Office for Linux,” says Tyde. “I don’t know
whether it is true, but I’ve heard that from a number of different
sources….”
“It is widely known that Microsoft has been hiring Linux
developers, and some have speculated that the software behemoth
could even be in the process of producing its own Linux
distribution. But while Tyde doesn’t think this is the case,
he says he and others would actually welcome a Microsoft version of
the Open Source nemesis to the Windows platform.”
