There are some formatting features, which, when used, and a document
is saved to Word format, when one then uses MSOffice to open the
document, will, on Windows (I don't know about WINE or Mac's) give you
everybody's favorite windows screen --- The Blue Screen of Death.
That is _not_ because of bugs in OOo. It is because of major bugs in
both MSOffice, and Windows.
FWIW, if one tries to duplicate the same things in msoffice on
windows, one gets The Blue Screen of Death --- it isn't because of the
OOo -> ms filters.

Thing is, there are very few "known" issues. And most of the "known"
one's can't be fixed by OOo.
Putting in a warning that "the feature you are using will cause the
blue screen of death, if the document is saved to a microsoft format,
and then opened with microsoft office, on a windows platform" is going
to scare off far more people from using OOo, than seeing the current
message that pops up when saving to a microsoft format. Especially
when an incredibly small minority of OOo users even uses that specific
combinations of features.
