Microsoft Office for Linux would be a nice start. Contributions to the WINE project would be even nicer.

I also hope they will never be involved in any WINE development: WINE can severely hurt their business and they fear it to the point they created WSL which is and works as its exact opposite: prevent users from running Windows software without Windows by allowing them to run Linux software without Linux.
