I'm like, 90% sure Microsoft has made stuff that runs on Android before. Hell, how much of Android involves MS patents again? I know there was a uproar about it some time ago.

Links? Articles? Where are MS patents related to Android? Please provide some proof for that.

And that's a good thing ? Have you seen the android file sizes for that heap of dung ?

"when microsoft makes office for Linux, we'll know we've won"

Microsoft makes Office for Android that is a fork, not for Linux nor any free desktop.
So we are far away from victory...

BTW it is not at all a strange move, considering the number of Android users it enable them to keep the vast majority of file formats (.docx .xlsx ) and in return keep selling Office products and subscriptions for 365 services.

Last question: is it a free app?

Mafia tactics really don't count. Try again. Prove the LEGITIMACY of it.
