@itsfoss While I welcome such a move, as long as there're no ready made alternatives to Office suite, the move will end up in failure. People are used to certain workflows and hate to relearn everything again.

In a nutshell: we need a Windows grade Linux (not a myriad of alternative distros which don't agree about common standards) and a ready made office suite. The money that could be saved from leaving MS could be used to fund those.
