- Why is anyone still using Microsoft Office?
I think it's amazing that the whole world hasn't adopted StarOffice yet. IT'S A FREE OFFICE SUITE THAT HANDLES MS OFFICE FORMATS. Cripes. Does anyone think MS Office doesn't have enough money yet? ;>

Nothing for Mac users yet, but it runs on Windows and Linux and Solaris, and that covers a lot of people.

I've used it for about 6 months and I have no idea why anyone would still be flinging their money at MS Office. StarOffice isn't perfect, but neither, by a long shot, is MS Office. (I think the last time Word was a good product was 1995, on a Mac.) StarOffice is kind of like a proxy to MS Office--it reads and writes all the Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files that everyone sends you, and you can send anyone a StarOffice file in the MS Office file of their choice. But, of course, you don't have to actually have or PAY for MS Office. And you get a couple nice little drawing/picture editing programs that can do pretty decent stuff. (Not a substitute for PhotoShop, but PhotoShop is $700.) I was messing around with old college files in Corel and WordStar, and StarOffice even opened those.

You're probably going to need a book to use it fully. It's not hard to get started and do basic stuff, there's lots of wizards and everything, but every time you right-click there's 10 more features that you'll be able to use a lot easier if you've got a book. I strongly recommend "StarOffice Companion" by Floyd Jones. Every time I look in the index or the contents, I find the thing I'm looking for, and the instructions tell me exactly how to do it, and it works. It's kind of amazing. ;> Oh, and it tells you right at the front how to turn off the Microsoft-like Helpful Tips and autoformatting and stuff.

- Excellent product
Star office is a great altenative to Office. The first few moments are disconcerting, as the icons are in different locations. However, once the adjustment is made, its just as good as Office. Star Office has especially an especially good Power Point equivelant.

- Bang for your buck!
This product is amazingly versatile and useful for the cost for the full retail version of Star Office 5.2. It's best feature is it's *mostly* compatible with Microsoft Office files, at a 12th of the cost of Microsoft's Office XP Standard Full retail (cheapest, non-upgrade) version. I would recommend this for anybody who wants a cheap, compatible alternative.

- Better off waiting for 6.0
I have been using StarOffice for the last year or so. It is a powerful office suite, that may not be perfect, but gets the job done. StarOffice is probably the best non-MS office suite available. It has many of the features you'll need (make presentations, slides, edit/format text files), plus it has the best doc filters available in a non MS Office product,and is easy to use. The only downside is it's slow and a memory hog. If your using Linux, this is the way to go. Yet, if you're on a system supported by MS, your better off getting MS Office. Or at least waiting till StarOffice 6.0 comes out. 5.2 is a great choice for your everyday needs, but it still doesn't compare to the king.

- Staroffice 5.2
I have used this program in 3 Linux versions as well as windows 98.
I beleive this is the best program i have used in a long time.
It out surpasses most of windows programs of the same caliber.
of course it is a free program for Linux users if installed on the Linux version they choose or want to go to their ftp site to
download it.However,I would suggest getting their Cd for those of you who are not familiar with the downloading procedure.
One of the aspects I like ,Is the ability of several office type programs.also the explorer which allows you to use it as a web surfer.
ALL in aLL I think Sun has always outdone themselves again.
Their Program does just about anything one could ask for.
one note though,It has to be confighured correctly to use it.
Read the instructions very carefully and all will go well.
You will not be disatisfied .
