Hi,

I've found this in the man page for rsync: "To backup my wife’s home directory, 
which consists of large MS Word files and mail folders, I use a cron job that 
runs ...".

I believe it's very inappropriate and inconsiderate to mention Microsoft 
products unless it's really necessary. I'm mostly concerned with the fact that 
this careless usage not only gives them more publicity than they deserve, but 
also gives those programs a legitimacy that they don't have since they are 
proprietary software (and also promoting proprietary standards).

Therefore I'd like to suggest that the man page be changed to "which consists 
of large documents and mail folders", or at least mention another software such 
as LibreOffice.

Thanks for the understanding.
