No, basically nobody uses MS Word on Linux or BSD. Instead, your distribution (Eg. Xandros) will come with a free copy of Open Office and Abiword available for your use. Both can fill the needs of and interoperate with Microsoft Office, but without the cost of MS Office. If you insist on Microsoft Office for some particular reason, you can run many versions through Wine. Wine should come with your new laptop’s linux distribution repositories, but you’ll need to use a standard copy of Microsoft Office for Windows to do this.
Sorry, but if Microsoft tried porting Office to Linux, nobody’d buy it. Corel tried selling Word Perfect ten-twelve years ago, and nobody was buying even though we didn’t yet have a decent WYSIWYG word processor.
OpenOffice is the Linux equivalent of Microsoft Office. Best of all it is open-source and free:

try AbiWord..
microsoft word is made for windows and mac operating systems only. the linux alternatives are openoffice and abiword

http://www.abisource.com/
most linux distributions comes with the openoffice.org office suite and/or abiword
In linux Ubuntu There is Open Office which is a great program to students i highly recommend it its also extreamly Underrated and it one of the Internets Best Treasures plus its free and also does not contain adware or spyware i suggest and recommend that but to answer your question nope not yet at lease Microsoft only Supports OSx for the office suites in other Operating systems
