This rumor stems from a source in Brussels, Belgium, who spoke to Phoronix’s Michael Larabel at FOSDEM, one of Europe’s larger open source conferences. According to this source, who is presumably one of Microsoft’s open source developers, Microsoft is taking a “meaningful look” at releasing a full Linux port of Office in 2014.
This is as thin as it gets for journalistic sources.
I wouldn't call most tech blogs these days "journalism". A journalist would at least put a little blurb in the story describing their attempt to contact Microsoft and corroborate the story.
