What I really was thinking about is a more detailed comparison list.
This list would have things like
read/write .docx files
able to use JPEG 2000 image files
edits PDF files
list of popular formal types
list of transition effects for Impress vs PowerPoint
and things like that for each module of LO vs MSO and other office
packages. Give details of the capabilities of LO and what it is
comparing to. The lists in the link below is not detailed enough. Also
it states there is not image viewer for LO. I thought Draw was a viewer
and editor.
It is nice to have some simple package comparisons, but more and more
users are concerned with specific details about it LO or any other free
package can do the specific type of work they need to do. That include
file types for read/writing, importing of various image files, formulas
and macros, etc., etc.. This list would show that LO exports to PDF
directly, which MSO did not do the last time I used it.
The idea of cross platform use - Windows, Mac, Linux OSs - is nice, but
since more people will be concerned with Windows-only operation, it
needs lists of operation functions, and other things that is needed by
their day to day work needs. Specifics.
The linked list is a start, but having a side by side function
comparison between Writer and Word, Calc and Excel, etc., is needed.

I still think we need a check list chart comparing LO with all of the
other open-source office suites, plus MS Office.
I'd include Google Docs in that since it is getting more and more use,
especially the spreadsheet because of the convenience of collaboration.
