I'd be more inclined to believe in just a Linux instance running Office.
The NT kernel is so incredibly different from the Linux kernel, and the Windows shell takes such extensive advantage of it, that I can't even begin to imagine the compatibility layer required.
- smm11 4y agoApple supported OS 9 running 'containerized' atop what was essentially Openstep for a few years. Worst-case I could see a Windows GUI running atop a heavily-symlinked Debian, and all Office things running Web-based. Everything else that can't run native could be in obscured VMs. At some point, the NT kernel isn't going to cut it.
