[tdf-discuss] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Marketing material suggestion: Why LibreOffice?

I wonder when in 2012 did MS create this document, since they use OOo 
instead of AOO?

     "Considering-LibreOffice-and-OO-v2.pdf"

Then there is this interesting "warranty statement". [bottom of page 3]

   "This document is for informational purposes only. MICROSOFT MAKES
   NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN THIS"

To me that states that they can include miss-information and be covered 
for that.  Also they are implying that MSO is now on Smart Phones and 
not via the next item "Browser". [bottom right of page 2]

There are things in this document that are correct.  LO and OOo [not 
AOO] lacks certain items [by name] that are owned by MS/MSO.

I really would like to know how much MSO feels that LO and OOo are going 
to take their market away for them to spend time to make this second 
version of this document.
