It's not because it is so different from Mac or Linux versions but because 
Microsoft has a very certain view about copyright and using screenshots made on 
a Windows system in the documentation for a competing product. 

The germanophone OOo project asked MS Germany about this and the answer we got 
was that we would need permission from MS. (André, if I'm wrong, please correct 
me). So to avoid any copyright issues we decided to use only screenshots made 
under Linux. 

Sigrid
