Woof! Anyone else know anything about this? They've made it a little confusing, but can anyone tell my why it would be $50 for a standard perpetual single-seat (quantity 1) license and $90 for the "Enterprise Edition" or $90 for the MSO plug-in? And can anyone explain what the "check minimum quantities" requirements are all about?

And why wouldn't they indicate where it can be gotten absolutely free? Or that it can even BE gotten for FREE! They're as bad as many of the other skanky sites I've seen! I suspect all the rumors are now becoming true - they're touting the product as though they were the developers! NO WAY would I pay $90 for the bugs I know are present in it, especially the stoopid ones that date from the early days of the program!

I still have MSO: I may be rethinking my strategies now Oracle's decided to screw over everyone from the creators to the users. Perpetual or not, which I'm sure they'll screw over too, it's not a good deal in any way.
   And guess where they send you for support?

HTH,

First Orcale Open Office is a name change for StarOffice, which Sun charged for. Second anyone is allowed to sell OpenOffice.org, if they can get anyone to pay. Another example of this is IBM's "Lotus Symphony" it is a modified version of OpenOffice.org.
