As far as Opera is concerned, I hope it is ported soon. I
personally don't mind spending a few dollars if I can have a
stable browser that supports java, etc. I could care less about
the proprietary MS browser crap. On the other hand, Netscape
has been pretty stable here, minus a glinch or two with java.
My system is based on a VX chipset, 200Mhz Intel Pentium CPU
with 96MB ram, 2 IDE hd's, (2.1 and 2.5GB) a RealTec NIC,
and a USR 56k internal fax modem.
Regarding StarOffice..., I installed Word Perfect 8. No
problems, hence I'm happy! I've used SOx prior to WP8 and I do
not miss the slow loading..., etc..., found in StarOffice.
My aspect is: If I actually have to choose between a commercial
vs. free application, performance wins, hands down, even if the
cost is minimal. (as in the personal edition of WP8.)
