Oracle Open Office is based on that evil thing called OpenOffice.org, which will harm you in any possible way and soon even start eating your children.This puts me in mind of the "Political ads" running here in the United States right now. Smear the opposition at all cost. May the other 'guy' look worse that you are. At least they go the name right, including the .org. :>
Even if it is a smear campaign, it is imperative that the support links and the quality of support is a "front and centre" policy of LibO. Giving user support should show predominantly everywhere you go on the site.
The underlying message the short video gives is that the support will be hard to find when you adopt the LibO suite. We should beef up the visibility of our support lines on our webpages so that this message does not prove true to our website visitors.
It is a sad marketing technique being used by "that other company". Marc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to marketing+help@libreoffice.org List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
