FYI, StarOffice 6 also does not have the integrated desktop and email
client. The word processing module can view html pages, even from a web
server, so it could double as a web browser, but I would not use it for
such.

The point is, StarOffice 6 is also faster than its parent, 5.2. AFAIK,
the only real differences between SO6 and OpenOffice are the use of some
proprietary filters (for MS Word, etc.) that Sun is able to include in
StarOffice. In OpenOffice, the filters had to be rewritten from scratch.
