out of curiosity, i decided to give staroffice 8.0 a try, and find out
if it's worth the 80USD (compared to the free openoffice 2.0)

after about a month, i can say that openoffice might be better than
staroffice (apart from a few missing fonts - the proprietary ones i
guess).

where OO.org shines very well is importation of microsoft office
documents. though not perfectly, it does much better at keeping them
closer to their original than staroffice.

so, why the 70 usd, when the free package is much better?
