Having said that, if M$ really wants to embrace Linux, they should port Office 2016 to Linux (either RPM, DEB, or both). They should also write an official Onedrive client for Linux (again RPM, DEB, or both).
I don’t see either happening anytime soon.
Me either. I think MS is looking to wedge into Linux as a cloud OS, but they are going to push Windows on the desktop/tablet/phone (ie. client side).
The version of Office 2016 for Mac OS is pretty decent. They could probably port that version to Linux fairly easy.
