Exactly. Whatever be the reason, Microsoft has a really good office suit.
Or in other terms, most people have grown accustomed to it. If they make a
linux version and make it a Pay App at the Ubuntu Software Centre, I think
Microsoft has got themselves a piracy proof method to sell software.

How is this piracy-proof?

It is not. But atleast more people will be willing to pay for it.

@Kenneth,

I find it surprising because, there are lots of people ( who would
otherwise switch to linux)  stuck with Windows just because they can't
run office on Linux. Mac is expensive. Linux alternatives are not good
enough for them due to their familiarity with MS software. Would this
not be a major blow to Microsoft OSes?
