Story: No Office on Linux 'at this time'

Who the shaq cares?
I think that Linux, software-wise, is actually in a pretty happy position.
Two reasons:
*We have enough users and developers that we have essentially every program that Linux users use, programs that are up to date and plenty of drivers.
*We DON'T have enough users that marketing firms try to hit us up with spyware.
I'm pretty content with that.
Besides, Microsoft's software probably wouldn't be that good a thing to have on Linux. Microsoft doesn't just make software with holes, they make software with revolving doors that simply ~let~ malicious spyware simply waltz right in without even having to hack or break any laws.
When they say 'no Office for Linux', I equate it to God looking out for us. (Maybe He's tired of computer crashes too.)
