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.
