Surely running MSO under Wine on Linux is a valid choice? Not one I

The idea is to highlight _Linux_ software.
By allowing _use "x" under WINE_ as an option_, the poll then becomes
a contest about the non-native software. That would also mandate
including programs whose developers have promised will never be
released as native *Nix software.

I have read a bunch of these posts and although at least one person
thinks that MS office products MUST be on the list for it to be valid,
has anyone really asked the question, can Wine run the product in question?
Microsoft Word 2013 is known to NOT work
There are only 8 votes requesting that it be made to work.

When Microsoft creates their products, they generally push the envelope
and use the newest latest libraries, which Crossover is less likely to
have ported. So, if MSO was included in the list as things that people
run on Linux, then they would need to include numerous versions to try
to get one that people are using.
There is not even an entry for MS Excel 2013, so no one has even cared
enough to create one.
If I look at the MS Office 97 entry, there are zero votes to make it
work, and only 149 "CrossTie Downloads" (downloads of the automated
Cross-Over office installation stuff).
Now, to be more positive on MSO having any bearing, the generic MSO 2013
entry (which is listed as known to not work) has 158 votes asking them
to make it work.

I think that it does not matter that it is not listed as a possibility
as one of the top office products (or word processors) used on Linux.
It looks like Word 2010 has 1507 crosstie downloads, so certainly some
people are using older copies of Word.
