When I read this kind of marketing-speak I generally assume that it's exaggerating a bit. "you'll be completely at home" translates as "you shouldn't have any problems".

"If you're used to using other office suites - such as Microsoft Office - you'll experience very little trouble in using OpenOffice.org xx, since most functions can be handled in the same way."


Can you see any marketing guy writing something as honest as that? :-)

Maybe needs a little restyling... however, a honest product deserves a honest marketing! Too much marketing-speak, results in just complaints as the OP has (or had). Also in contact with potential users/customers, one should not be shy and too modest, however exaggerating is potentially harmful, IMHO.
