M$ Denies Open Source Plans
In an interview in connection with the announcement, Cohen was quoted as saying, "I anticipate that as open-source software grows, Microsoft will make its applications available in open-source form."
This has helped fuel the fire of never-dying rumors that Microsoft may yet support such programs as Microsoft Office and Outlook on Linux.

"Stuart made a general statement regarding the likelihood of MS collaborating with open source," said the spokesperson.
A Microsoft representative agreed: "Microsoft does not have any plans to port to Linux."
