When you click, what happens?  Does it launch a Linux based viewer within
the browser window?
I don't want that.  I don't want all of the questions that will come about
the document
not rendering exactly like the MS product, etc.  I just want one of these
to happen:

A. No link or a similar null action like "sorry, not supported".
B. Launch the native desktop app, which would happen with a typical
download link
on any web page.
