More choices

Althought it may never happen, I for one would love to see Microsoft Office, Outlook, SQL Server, etc. on Linux. I really think it would open up the Linux operating system and offer more choice to customers. More choice is always good. One could still choose to run GPL only systems, but others would have the ability to choose Linux + MS SQL or Exchange or (god forbid) IIS.
