Nothing for you to see here, but MS won't move along... That's the point.

Microsoft: We can update Office-by-subscription every 90 days

So they will be able to tweak the file formats every 90 days to keep other
office software incompatible.

...to LibreOffice.

Later, I plan to move 80-90% of my daily computing activity to Linux.
Funny thing is, most of the games I play/plan on playing are Linux
native/compatible anyway XD (Minecraft, Word of Tanks (Wine), etc).

Unlike a few years ago, I really don't feel much tying me to Windows anymore. I
can think of 1 game and the VSE C++ IDE which I am required to use at college.
That's about it. I guess I've just been too lazy to rebuild my computer.

Thinking about doing a dual boot, but putting a Virtual Machine in Linux, and
having it run my Windows partition as it's main disk (i.e. instead of creating a
disk image file I will use my windows partition). Anybody know if this would
work, or will this cause, um, driver problems?
