Nope, it's likely to happen one day, but not this time.

This little over-50 keyboard basher has neither owned an M$ box, nor
worked in the M$ environment, in 30 years working in IT. I saw M$ as a
passing fad when BG started up his company, and have profited from
learning only Solaris, HP-UX, and linux variants. Admittedly, unix office
suites were expensive for home use back then, as was Solaris-x86.

So the help I can offer is limited to linux/unix, and even there pretty
much CLI solutions, because they're the ones which work for me.
