This particular piece of literature is for ISV's and VAR's...it isn't a direct marketing flyer for the end user. It's a "battle card" so to speak, and salesmen have been using them for years. The reason it speaks so much about the pains of OpenOffice rather than MS Office features is b/c it's more of a rebuttal card in case the ISV's customer's ask questions about OO.o I would hope that MS marketing department is smarter than that (and they most definitely are).

In other words: "Dear companies running on W2K, please pay for upgrades ASAP. We would like more money. Thanks."
Last I checked, IE 6 was a free download from the MS website, and according to the page they have up, that's what they were referencing (the only "known" exploit to have come from someone going over the leaked code)...that being said, no doubt there will be more situations like this.
