A Twitter employee from Canonical, responsible for promoting Ubuntu on WSL and Hyper-V, shared a video of Microsoft Word and Excel running on Ubuntu 20.04 without using Wine and WSL.
Launching MS Word as "The program runs quite quickly on a system with an Intel Core i5 6300U processor with integrated graphics. This is not a launch through Wine, not a remote desktop/cloud, or GNOME running in a WSL environment on Windows. This is something I created. The next step: I plan to add file associations." Regarding MS Excel, the developer "File associations have been added. Working with the Windows environment/virtual machine is done via SSH."
At the moment, the author, , states that this is his personal project and there is no talk of official porting. It is not clarified how this is all implemented, but there is mention of a lightweight form of virtualization in the Linux environment, which also allows working with the clipboard and enables opening programs from Windows in Linux directly.
