Hello.

As some of you probably know, there are rumours about Microsoft
porting Microsoft Office to Linux. While this may not happen, there's
the possibility this can someday happen.

What about if it happens? What are the advantages of LibreOffice vs
Microsoft Office? Despite being Free Software and at no cost (that's
relative, you would still require some customer support too), I wonder
about the rest of advantages LibreOffice have and if the weak points
are relevant to certain organizations (NGOs, companies, government
institutions...).


You know, Libreoffice is already competing on the same terms on Windows. In general, trying to find 
out what specific product value might be differentiating might not be too helpful. We are not 
competing on a feature by feature basis, but rather on a community and global value, something like 
featureset+ support+ availability + community + FOSS + contributing ability. All this put together 
is a bit difficult to express in marketing terms, aside by using and promoting our community, hence 
our decision not to do traditional marketing.

But on MSOffice on linux  I wouldn't be too worried :-)

Best,
Charles.
