Yes, and nobody reads these texts. Advertising agencies make texts to
satiesfy their clients. That's because managers and technicans often
think, one needs to have texts wth a detailed explanations how good the
product is.

People really going near a poster in a conference booth for about 5 or
10 seconds are usually those who like to know what these funny marketing
people have written. And they usually sent mails to point out feature X
or Y wasn't mentioned. ;)

However, people as these usually use GNOME or any other Linux desktop,
already.

Consider it as a usability thing: Don't concentrate on use cases for
special interest groups. ;)

However, you asked for comments.
