StarOffice's greatest strength and weakness is the tight integration
between applications. On one hand, the applications can work together
in surprizing and useful ways. On the other, it works against the idea
of someone assembiling their own "best of breed" suite of applicatoins.
But it would seem a good choice where people are trying hard to
standardize their corporate desktops.
To give the devil its due, I think the Win32 desktop is a marvelous
example of integrating applications into a useful work environment.
