On the other hand, OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) which is a scaled-down version of StarOffice works quite nicely on Windows (Yuck! Ptewey!) AND Linux. They've removed the email client, the web-browser and desktop (?) environment, cutting the size to about 40 Mb (for the download), so perhaps that's worth looking at. Same install GUI, same cross-application functionality, smaller footprint. Quite Stable.
