Nope, it ain't, unfortunately.
IMHO, Evilsoft is turning the words of Linus in such a way, so that they
correspond to their ideas.
The usual FUD.

Actually, in this case, it was The Register which did the twisting of
Linus' words...

The actual comments of Linux were not about MS Word, but about
Bitkeeper. The Register however transposed them to Word, for effect
(and later in the article retracted the fake quote... "actually, he
didn't - we just made that quote up." but many people only read the
first paragraph anyways). However, rumor is that even the supposedly
real quote about Bitkeeper has been twisted or taken out of context in
some way...
