Beta packages are being distributed by Ximian already (this is GNOME 1.4
/ Solaris 8). For the last while, it's seemed that they will ship a
heavily modified 1.4 with Solaris 9 sometime in October. And yes, they
do have people on the gnome team, and Star Office and Open Office are
even going as far as being 'merged' (heavily borrowing from each other).
