When you think about how M$ refuses to port any of their apps, even the most simplistic (ie. Word viewer) to Linux, it makes you realize how greedy and selfless this company is. I realize that Linux is a competitor, but seriously, what harm will there be if they had the full suite of their file viewers available for Linux users. I think if M$ made Linux versions of some of their apps, it would gain so much more respect from the community.
This is what I hate about Microsoft. Even though I am a big XP user, and I too am guilty of using MS Office all the time, I hate this company for the way it is so domineering in trying to have everyone on Windows. I wish more people at work would use the free office suites and transition to that instead of MS Office.
I think one day there will be a shift and it will happen. The big companies (office users) need to get more involved in making this happen.
