Hi Guix,

I’m not sure about the description, nor about the mention of
“Microsoft”.  If you have better ideas for the description and synopsis
please comment.

The last part (about where the name comes from) might not be strictly
necessary, but it's funny and a statement, so no opinion on it. :-)

Otherwise seems fine to me.  We also mention e.g. Nintendo in the
synopsis and description of some emulators.  It's just what it is.  
Certainly not an encouragement to use MS Word, I'd say.

The only thing I would change is to drop the "(R)" .   In GNU our policy is
not to use trademark acknowledgements - especially not for proprietary software.
