This seems like a very silly ad campaign by Microsoft. As a company who is in, by far the dominant position in terms of productivity suites, I can't see any reason why you'd start comparing other products such as Google Docs and OO.o with yours - it makes them look like they _are_ comparable, except that some of them are free.

However, it seems pretty clear from the Excel / Calc comparison video that Excel has moved far ahead in power (watching it, I noticed that they seem to have fixed a lot of the pain points I currently have with Excel '03) whereas Calc is still stalled. Disclosure: I use XP/Office 2003 at work and Ubuntu / OO.o at home.
