I think there is so much more to say about a Frame vs Word comparison in a video than stability, single-sourcing, and conditional text. I am not an advanced Word user, so it is likely that I simply do not know how to force Word to do some of the things that Framemaker does so simply, but off the top of my head, managing files at the book level; cross-references that remain live when converted to PDF; automatic index generation; etc. A quick google for Framemaker versus Word will bring up a lengthy laundry list of features that could be demonstrated side by side in a video. Granted, in most instances, the Word side would simply be sitting there looking dumb while the Frame side zipped along making our lives easier.
In addition, Scriptorium Publishing outlines a great Frame vs Word demo at http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/demo.html I don't have any video experience, but if I did, I'd make this video in a heartbeat because I think it would be a well-viewed, valuable resource for Framers. I know Adobe can't do it for legal reasons, but it would be great if one of us who DOES have video experience could build it.
