You’re trying to replace Windows with Linux. Great.
Your way of replacing Windows with Linux: install Linux as a set of Word macros, one macro at a time. (You’d need something like Emscripten for Word macro.) Oh, also—Linux doesn’t exist. So you’re actually building Linux as a set of Word macros, one macro at a time. Oh, and you have no distribution mechanism. Your users need to type in the macros themselves.
Are the Word users fed up with Word? Oh, man. They’ve had it up to here with Word. So what?
