To do this they'd need to basically implement the Win32 APIs on Linux. And if they did that, that might enable other windows applications to run on desktop Linux. It would be similar to how WINE works, but by Microsoft.
- meaty 14y agoOffice is built on higher level APIs than win32. COM would be a major sticking point though ad that entire stack is huge.
- jswinghammer 14y agoI doubt that. I don't think they made Win32 for Mac OS. It probably isn't much different than their Mac OS port.
