Current release of Star office 5.2 is fairly long in the tooth. Star Office 6.0 and Open Office 1.0 is pretty much exactly the same. There are some minor differences to do with asian fonts that rely on licensed software owned by Sun so it cannot be used for OO. The major difference with Star Office is the perception of support by PHMs. That is pretty much it. The support for Open Office is starting to grow in the developer community, so the bugs will get squished faster. The whole tree for this software is HUGE. Most of the Open Office focus has been on startup time and import of M$ documents. THer are some bugs but they are fairly esoteric.
