Re:self defacing humor or self fulfilling prophecyalways wondered how much of Star Office was written in Java. It's certainly slow enough at times for the whole thing to have been.
i was lead to believe that StarOffice was a showcase for crossplatform C++, and that was what Stardivision were originally in the business of selling. Only later did they start selling the Office suite as their primary product, and im fairly surethere was no Java at all until Sun paid a small fortune for it (although i suspect an element of humor in your comment).
(of course i could be woefully misinformed, but that would just make me a Karma whore)Its amazing what those crazy Germans can come up with sometimes.

At ftp://ftp.stardivi sion.de/pub/staroffice/unxlxni/so51_lnx_01.tar you can get the english version. (Change 01 to 49 for Gernam, 33 for French, and 39 for Italian.)
Its loaded (took me about 5 mins to get in) but seems to be going pretty quick (20k/s to the East Coast USA)

US/English version not out yet?
Looks like only the German site has the news, the U.S. site still has 5.0 only. From what I can make out using BabelFish (ugh! too many friggin' frames!), the English port is still not available yet.
