I would doubt that Microsoft would want to transfer their Office programs to Linux, as it would only encourage their customers to linux and get the word of linux out more (i.e. shopping for MS Office, and see MS Office for Linux, and check out what it is about, realizing they can get a free operating system!)
That would probably be a bad business choice...much like Nintendo deciding to make games for Playstation 2...it just wont happen.

he means the MAME software for Xbox, not the mod-chips...it would be hard to download the mod chips considering they're hardware!
