Microsoft markets OpenOffice.org

So apparently the Microsoft marketing machine is no longer the force it once was. Now it's marketing its competitors! In tech circles, this video has fast become notorious, not just for its crappy production values--but mainly because it makes the people quoted in it sound like idiots.
