With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won?
sfcrazy writes "The father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, once said, 'If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.' Microsoft yesterday released one of its cash cows, Microsoft Office, for Android. Since Microsoft has a very vague idea of what users want and is suffering from lock-in, the app is just an Android front end of Office 365 and is accessible only by the paid users. There are already quite a lot of office suites available on Android including Office Pro, QuickOffice and KingSoft, so Microsoft will have to struggle there. Still it's a Microsoft core application coming to Linux. So, it looks like Linus has won."
So what you are saying is that both Linus and Richard Stallman won.
Have gnu, will travel.
Some people also eat their own toe jam, so there's that.
Actually, Linus' stated goal was "world domination".
