Microsoft may be considering developing Office for Linux

Since Linux is a free and open-source operating system and a competitor to Windows, Microsoft's consideration of developing Office for the operating system will certainly be a big surprise.

A reliable source revealed with such Endgadget yesterday 7/2.

The source mentioned above is none other than Michael Larabel, the founder of the website specializing in Linux hardware - Phoronix. Larabel said, at the recent Open Source Developers Conference (FOSDEM) in Brussels, Belgium, a secret source told him that Microsoft is " seriously" considering development. Office on Linux. That version may be released in 2014.

Since Linux is a free and open-source operating system and a competitor to Windows, Microsoft's consideration of developing Office for the operating system will certainly be a big surprise.

A lot of people have doubted this and Larabel responded with a " wait and see" message on Twitter. The evidence Larabel offers is some of Microsoft's small grants of past Linux projects. However, Linux users will surely have to wait for a long time to verify the above information.

A little while ago, in early November 2012, there were rumors that Microsoft was developing an Office version for Android. Until now, there is no official information about this version of Office.
