"Star Division's office applications, called StarOffice, run on Windows, Unix, Solaris, Java, and other platforms. And StarOffice is better than Java software at incorporating the formats of Microsoft Office applications such as PowerPoint, Word, and Excel." Alessio Palma said: "Now I'm using window$ 95 and know that I'm learning how to use a M$ product, if I want to switch to linux I need a GUI m$ like to continue my work without problems, in a word I'm addicted by M$. There is too power inside a single man." Allessio & Heimo: There now is a cross-platform "Windows, Unix, Solaris, Java, and other platforms" alternative which reads and write to the native Misco$oft file format. Simply go to <http://www.sun.com/dot-com/staroffice.html> and download at no-charge an alternative to Micro$oft's Office Suite. " It currently comes in versions for the Windows, Linux, OS/2, and Solaris SPARC/Intel platforms. StarOffice 5.1 includes: StarOffice Writer for word processing. StarOffice Calc for creating spreadsheets. StarOffice Impress for creating presentations. StarOffice Draw and StarOffice Image for creating graphics. StarOffice Schedule for managing calendars and to-do lists. StarOffice Mail for handling e-mail. StarOffice Base for access to databases. StarOffice Discussion for reading Internet news. StarOffice Math for devising complex formulas." So if your truly bugged about Micro$oft dominating your application environment desktop life you can choose another approach (to someoone else dominating your network life is what the cynic says inside of me...).
