Should Microsoft bring Office to Linux?

0	Was just thinking the other day, do you reckon Microsoft would make anything out of bringing a native version of Microsoft Office to Linux like they do for Mac? Jack microsoftoffice microsoft office asked Dec 30 '10 at 14:09 topsyandpip56 1●1●1●1

2	I also say no. Doesn't Linux-users like OpenOffice because it's open-source? :) answered Dec 30 '10 at 14:55 JanNikolajsen 376●1●3●11

1	Nah, OpenOffice.org is fine! answered Dec 30 '10 at 14:54 Anthony Guidetti 1.7k●84●92●121

I'm going to have to say no. Just because the fact that everything for Linux is mainly made by Linux users. Now I'm sure if your a Linux user yourself you already knew that. But it comes down to fact that even if Microsoft did they I don't think that many Linux users would use it due mainly to the reason that Linux users changed to get away from Microsoft products.
