Why

So, why VSTO here in an OpenSource themed wiki?

since 2015 .NET is opensource (really)
C# ist open source
you can get the Visual Studio Comunity Edition for free (really free also for commercial use, if you are not working for a > 250 men company)
Word an Excel are running fine with wine (see #MSOffice_2010_and_Wine) - Outlook not tested yet,

In most cases Word, Excel and Powerpoint are the most often used programs in business for daily comunication. It is like it is. Beeing able - now - without any restrictions, to program MS-Office addins with VSTO and prgraming languages like C# is a big adavantage. So, here we go.
