Actually IMHO the name SunOffice sounds much much better, especially in light 
of the fact that StarOffice has so drastically improved from when Sun first 
acquired it.  (Star Office 6.0 was the first "major" improvement because it 
could be loaded in "slightly less than two big minutes"!  Now OOo 2.4 loads in 
just a couple of seconds.)  Sun used to sell SunOffice (at least in Japan), but 
stopped using the name after the StarOffice acquisition.  Perhaps it's time to 
consider going back to the old name (also in consideration of the heavy 
entanglement b/t OpenOffice.org and Java/NetBeans)?

As a side note, Sin-Yaw has decided to quit his adventure with the Asus 900.  
One of the reasons is its pathetically short battery life (130 minutes).  Too 
bad, he should have waited a little longer, as I had suggested, and tried the 
Atom-based 901 (280 minutes battery life running at power-saving mode).

Rumor has it that Acer has ordered 1 million of Intel's Atom processors.  This 
market is getting interesting.
