Linux adoption in many ways is certainly helped by support of some MS application. But I do not concur that somehow Linux adoption is dependent on it.
The sooner one cuts the cord as it were, the sooner one can just get on with getting work done.
There is not *need* for microsoft, just a desire to not have to re-learn something. Now, since most folks don't even know how to use "File"->"Save" Learning is something that hasn't happened in the first place.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
