From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I actually believe Adobe has already started to. Iirc that's what powers the web version of Photoshop.
MS with Office is purely speculation. But I believe wasm will be very disruptive once we have a stable abi and I'm sure MS will want to make their own superset of that stable abi to sell Azure integrations.
This could likely also be used to make a more fully featured online office suite. If the others did come true. There could be some pressure to make office available if it put enough of a dent into Wundows market share.
The azure speculation might be true, but Office? Naaahh...
