Like the author, I too find that staroffice works, despite being ugly. Since I have upgraded to a faster work station, it doesn't seem so slow. I was suprised that he sounded as if all the various workers were running software installed locally, not on a server with X terminals for clients. That is the place you make your money, I think. However, unlike him, I have found staroffice to be a fine platform to load *ppt documents, and, if you want, it is OK for email and web browsing. It seems especially nice for reading attachements, compared to other alternatives. I am a bit suprised they just didn't use StarOffice all the way, ie. for email and web browsing, too.
