The catch as always, will be that the free product they make will lack some vital add-ons or functionality that will require you to pay in order to use. 

Consider this a gesture that the Office Product Engineers are really having a hard time keeping up with their Open Office(and the rest) counterparts or something of the sort.

So first, Microsoft chases everyone to use licensed Windows....then many people shift to Linux....now they want to develop linux version of their Office product?

How about if they just made Windows free like linux and keep everyone using their Office....then again....its about the $! No?

Have a wonderful week ahead.
