Hey John, let's call the two cars the M$ car and the OO car. If he was
a prudent and intelligent car buyer, he would look at the history of the
car manufacturer. He would see that the M$ car had a history of
initially being over-priced, breaking down, always being recalled,
constantly going through upgrades and improvements to hopefully produce
a product that was somewhat reliable, while still being over-priced. On
the other hand, he would see the OO car manufacturer, though is newer,
doesn't charge a cent for it's product, is extremely diligent in
producing a reliable product while labeling former unreliable products
as unreliable, unlike the M$ car manufacturing company.
The M$ car manufacturing company is a huge company where its proven sole
objective is to be profitable. And very profitable it is. When you
purchase an M$ car (or rather the permission to use it), it comes with a
very limited warranty. Oh you can purchase an extended warranty for
another elaborate price. However, the OO car manufacturing company,
though it offers no warranty because their product is free to begin
with, it offers huge resources of thousands of other users worldwide.
And many of the designers, builders and QC technicians are users themselves.
The choice is obvious.

To Whom It May Concern:
First off I would like to clarify something. I'm biased towards Microsoft
products since they are the only things I have ever used. I looked at the
screenshots of your products out of curiosity and I was surprised how much
they look like Microsoft products. I understand that you want to make it
easy so that the few people the convert from Microsoft products will not have
trouble using yours, but in my opinion you should try to give your products a
different look. Let me phrase it another way. Let's pretend that there are
two cars. They look a lot alike, except that one has been around for years;
it is trusted, and owned by hundreds of thousands of people. If a
middle-aged man was shown the two cars and it was proven that they looked and
felt the same, he would probably buy the older one because of looks were the
same, but the older one had more experience behind its manufacturing. My
advice (one man's opinion) is come out with a new look and feel to your
products. If you have a better product and a different feel, I would saw
that people would switch to you. Again, this is just one man's opinion.
God Bless,
John Paul Wohlscheid
