Pl. Consider these opinions as *mine* and not of my employer. Where did you get the idea that StarOffice is not going to be free (as in beer)? The s/w continues to be free for download but the distribution, support and services would be charged, especially for the corporates/small business who are now seeing the light and going for this product (they _need_ support). Moreover, openoffice.org would be getting the source code of StarOffice for porting, standard APIs etc.
Whats the difference? read this. http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/mostfaqs.html#7 -Sai Tathagata Banerjee wrote: > > looks like staroffice isn't going to remain free (as in beer) any more. > i call this mean of sun. they don't need this money, but we sure do. > after giving us a taste of the beta (which is going to stop working on > march 31), they do this to us. > i wonder how openoffice is coming along, and when it will be ready for > serious and regular use. > - tathagata > -- Computers are like Air-Conditioners.
