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.

Technically Now. They have a web version, and their latest version of Outlook is basically their web app. If they release a linux binary it'll just be a wrapper for the web version. It's also a way for them to reach Chrome books.

Oh, that will explain why outlook runs like shit on my new computer.

Do you actually need to run MS Outlook specifically?

Not really fond of it. But so far it's the best tool I've found to be used in a professional environment that supports Exchange.
