Doesn't make any sense. Why start with MS Office? If they were interested in porting anything to Linux, they would have started with IE or Media Player, and we haven't seen that. On the other hand, I kinda agree with a couple of the other posts re: if MS Orifice sucks on Linux then users will return to Windoze (at least the dumb ones).
I say try selling it first to private concerns. Contact a few of the companies you think will be interested and let them bid on it. Begin the bidding at an adequate price, of course. If you can't think of any companies off hand, then auction it on the open market.
