Comment Microsoft is not going to change overnight! (Score 2) 231
Microsoft 1 or 2 (WinCo and AppCo) isn't going to be any different from Microsoft today.
What makes you think that the new company is going to start porting Office to Linux? Windows is still a big market and as long as the windows market stays big there is no reason to split resources in porting to new platforms.
If I was running the new app company I would continue to concentrate on Windows because that is where my bread and butter comes from. It is very unrealistic to believe that the "world is going to be a much better place" with the Microsoft split.
Just a pipe dream.
