Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Ideas wanted for "How we're different" part of new LibreOffice website

Greetings from Poland.  I am new here and a user, not a developer.  I have
avoided Microcrap for 20 years now, only using OpenOffice and more recently
Libre. As a user I have no issues with the product, but am paranoid about
compatibility with T'Wurd.  I produce academic papers and presentations and
still feel obliged to test my final versions on a Micro platform (if I can
borrow one for an hour).  I would be grateful for any advice on this,   In
return, I am mostly retired and happy to be wound up and pointed towards
any testing needed.  I did pilot ISO 9000 through mywater company and
produced some EU standards for instrumentation so understand technology
(but only software up to hex)
