This means that you have not been using MS Outlook, MS Access, MS Project and a couple of other applications that all belong to Microsoft Office.
I think we should not raise expectations that OOo is a complete replacement for MSO. Wrong expectations produce disappointment, anger and a bad reputation.
I wonder if we manage to set up this promo text without referring to Microsoft at all.
"When's the last time you gave a thought to the office software you use? Have a look at OpenOffice.org, the free office suite. It's great software and it's easy to use. The open-source licence means you can install it on as many PCs as you like without any licence worries. It's a wonderful value-add for any PC resellers, support folks, or repair shops. Give it a try today - just go to download.openoffice.org."
IMHO, OpenOffice.org is not in need of always presenting itself as the un-Microsoft. And we should not always compare OOo to MSO. In this manner we grade up Microsoft as a benchmark.
