Weird or not?

Wouldn't like to sound cheeky, but could I ask anyone who is good at English to take a look at a piece of news I made up? It deals with a sample application, which is conceived to underline some features of a gui library. Does it sound quite natural? =

(The sample) Illustrates how to use feature-rich flat tabs to be introduced in SomeSoftware 5.55 (coming soon). With a new flat tab control, you may create tabs that look like sheet tabs in Microsoft Excel or Output pane tabs in Microsoft Visual Studio 6. Or you may even give your tabs any customized look and feel you wish.

The flat tab control allows you to easily use any windows and controls as its pages: trees, lists, edits, dialogs, and etc. Besides it can be inserted into any window including dialogs, MDI/SDI views and control bars (as it is made in the sample).

= Thank you in advance.
