| | UnixWorld Review StarOffice 5.2 |
 | | StarOffice is an excellent choice for managers who administer heterogeneous environments, including Solaris, Windows and Linux, and who need office documents to be shared between the environments. | | | StarOffice Calc does not support changing the file extensions of the files it creates. | | | StarOffice 5.2 could make some impact on Microsoft Office if Sun succeeds in its marketing strategy, but is unlikely to cause a large-scale conversion from Windows to UNIX. |

| | StarOffice's high performance means you do not have to upgrade your computers to the level required for MS Office 2000. | | | Microsoft's goal is to use compatibility and support issues to force upgrades of all their products every two to three years (generally forcing you to upgrade your computers as well). | | | For many enjoying non-Microsoft computing environments, StarOffice is an important application. |

| | StarOffice shaping up as true Office alternative - TechUpdate - ZDNet |
| | Although the StarOffice Writer and Calc documents we exported functioned correctly in their Microsoft applications, Impress crashed when we tried to export Impress presentations to the PowerPoint format--but that may be a beta-related problem. | | | Support for the XML format, an open standard, allows StarOffice users greater portability of their files from platform to platform and a high degree of interoperability with any other software that supports XML. | | | Gone is the annoying "StarOffice Desktop" integrated office desktop environment that in previous versions essentially took over the Windows desktop. |

| | Sun's StarOffice no longer free Tech News on ZDNet |
| | However, the decision to promote StarOffice over OpenOffice, and impose StarOffice's $76 price tag, has divided open-source developers, many of whom are against proprietary software on principle. | | | Since 2000, the free, proprietary StarOffice has co-existed with the free, open-source OpenOffice.org -- a collaboration between Sun developers and open-source programmers across the Internet. | | | Ximian, which makes a desktop environment and productivity software for Linux, said last week it will join companies such as MandrakeSoft in distributing StarOffice 6.0 with its "premium" fee-based products. |

| | OpenOffice.org, StarOffice gaining momentum, expert says |
| | OpenOffice.org and StarOffice software are pretty much the same, except that StarOffice has other extras: templates, the Adabas database, a WordPerfect filter [on Windows], etc. You can create all the templates you need, including [by] simply opening all your current templates in OpenOffice.org and saving them in the OpenOffice.org template file format. | | | You can keep Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org or StarOffice running on the same machines at the same time, so the switchover doesn't need to be instant. | | | But, eventually, because students will have used it in high school and college, or because governments require an open-source file format, OpenOffice.org and StarOffice will become as widely used or more so than Microsoft Office is now. |

| | With the release of the new 6.0 beta, it appears that Sun as taken care of one of these issues: that of the StarDesktop, which is now, as many of you know, gone. | | | This is still one big binary pretending to be a suite of separate applications. | | | It does a great job pretending, mind you, to the point that if Sun could ever figure out how to reduce the resource problems, no one is really going to care if StarOffice takes up one binary or 212. |

| | Many users are forced to consult those books for dummies to work in Microsoft PowerPoint, but I doubt anyone would need help for StarOffice’s graphics program—it’s that easy. | | | When I tested various browsers to open complex, graphics-intensive Web pages, the StarOffice browser was on average a second faster—and sometimes much faster—than Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape Communicator. | | | It opens up the possibility that a mixed-hardware office could standardize on it as a desktop environment, making upgrades and technical support infinitely easier. |

| | Why it's hard NOT to like StarOffice |
| | "The main differences between the two," says Rogers, "is that OpenOffice must be distributed with open-source substitutes for technology that we had to license for inclusion with StarOffice." Examples of this are the database software, some fonts, the dictionary and grammar software, and the filters for opening WordPerfect files. | | | However, Microsoft has been at the productivity software support game for so long that the quality and maturity of its support offerings are probably top-notch. | | | Considering that 80 percent of the people who use office suites use them for 20 percent of their features, StarOffice is the functional equivalent of Microsoft Office (as well as WordPerfect Office and Lotus SmartSuite) for most of us. |
