Microsoft's “Love” of Linux
I&#x27;m not sure I follow what the author is getting at other than &quot;We should hate MS and do our best to not work with them on anything!&quot;.<p>First it was &quot;MS breaks compatibility on purpose, screw those guys!&quot;.  Now it&#x27;s &quot;sure, they&#x27;re playing nice but they don&#x27;t have a product in every market segment we want so they must have some nefarious master plan we haven&#x27;t figure out yet!&quot;<p>Everytime I hear someone say &quot;just look, they don&#x27;t support office on Linux!&quot; I ask: and what exactly do you think the market share is of guys who love Linux so much they use it on the desktop, but also would <i>PAY</i> Microsoft for Office vs. just using LibreOffice or Google&#x27;s office suite?  If you think MS hasn&#x27;t done the math and figured out that solution would never break even much less turn a profit, I guess I&#x27;d ask anyone making that claim to show their work.<p>I can tell you unequivocally the thing holding back the average enterprise from moving their entire business to Linux on the Desktop is <i>NOT</i> Microsoft Office, if it were they&#x27;d just tell everyone to use Office Online and move on with life.<p>PS: I assume all these Linux on the Desktop guys complaining about not having Office on Linux already are subscribed to o365 and use Office Online exclusively, proving to MS there&#x27;s demand.  Right?
