- LeoNatan25 9y agoThat’s not “Office uses React”, it’s a “collection of robust components designed to make it quick and simple for you to create web experiences using the Office Design Language.” Do you really see no difference between the two?
- BorisEm 9y agoThe React components are being used on production Office websites/webapps. Source: I'm a Microsoft employee working on this project.

- LeoNatan25 9y agoVery limited “use”; mostly just enabling external developers to interface using React to their existing tools (that are not using React). If the Armageddon should come, and Microsoft is to enter a legal patent dispute/battle, stopping this React “use” is a no-op for Microsoft.
- chrisco255 9y agoMicrosoft builds Skype on React Native. They use React in production on several websites including outlook.com. They are using it internally and not just for external devs. Also see this HN thread from a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12108273 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12108273
- nojvek 9y agoYou'd be actually surprised how many teams inside Microsoft wrote their own smaller versions of OS libraries. It happened a lot less after Nadella era, but Ballmer era had a "we can't use anything not built here"
