Who cares if we ever see any MS apps on UNIX (i.e. Linux).  Word is not 
the best word processor around.  If you think so, you need to pull your 
head out.  And Excel is a good spreadsheet, but it is so much like others 
that you can do everything it can do with a similar app.  CorelDraw has 
other apps that are similar as well. . .

The point is. . . with Linux, you don't need anything from Microsoft.
