Microsoft: No Office on Linux 'at this time' | |

Microsoft has no plans to tweak its Office productivity suite for Linux anytime soon, despite the growing popularity of open source on the desktop, according to a company executive. Speaking at the LinuxWorld conference in London on Wednesday, Nick McGrath, Microsoft's head of platform strategy, said that the software maker had no intention of porting Office to any of the Linux desktop distributions. "Microsoft is 100 percent focused on Windows: We have invested billions of dollars in it. We have created Office for the Mac but--and I thought I had been clear on this already when I said 'No'--we have no plans at this time to build Office on Linux," he said. McGrath made the comments as part of a LinuxWorld panel debate headlined "Where is the Innovation? Does free software development lead to proprietary, or is it the other way round?" | ||
