Is Microsoft working on Office for Linux?

On Thursday at the CeBIT exhibition in Hannover, the executive vice president of LinuxCare, Arthur Tyde, was quoted as saying that he heard there are 34 developers working at Microsoft to develop a version of Office for Linux. Microsoft have denied the rumor stating that "Microsoft always considers customer feedback for future development, but at this time, this is not something MS is working on." The rumors were possibly fueled by a story late last year about Microsoft sending in a job posting to Linux Today.
