That's one very cleverly-planned gimmick. They wrote it in such a way that
we Linux advocates can neither deny nor accept, hence not being a problem to
them (think e-mails and spam). We have, for sometime, told people that
GNU/Linux is in fact easier for the Grandma. That's of course only true for
popular distros, i.e Ubuntu, Fedora. Now who would've thought that this very
fact would cause some people in the market to think of Linux as a "dumber"
OS? Actually, it's apparent -  we just kept quiet because on the other hand,
the software is getting recognition.

As acceptable as the fact may be, the choice of words aren't. They didn't
mention anything about OpenOffice et al, which is bad enough. The following:

"to work efficiently"

is saying with Linux in general - not only the Eee offering - we won't be
productive.
