> this Teams launch could act as a bridge to improved Progressive Web App versions of Office This, a deeper push to PWA, is the real meat in this. Also that, again, Microsoft is truly serious about Linux, if anyone was left wondering. The Fluid paradigm, documents as apps, is an idea I've had myself — when going down to metadata rabbit hole with media tags, you end up on the other side of the paradigm, wanting each data object to be self-contained thus essentially "smart", functional, an application in its own right. I think Google has a similar idea with the modularity in Fuschia; not sure if this applies to the data/logic dichotomy though or 'just' the logic structure and user 'stories', workflows.

They've always been serious about Linux. But more about how to get Linux out of their way. If anyone is left wondering, and you've got the answer, it'd be nice to see something more substantial as to why we shouldn't be wondering anymore. It's true that there could be synergy. But that was the case back when it was clear MOST websites were coming from Linux servers than Windows, in spite of Microsoft's constant claims of being on the forefront there. They weren't. They still aren't. I'm definitely still "left wondering."
