Is StarOffice Ready To Take On Office?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the should-it-even-battle dept.

A reader writes "CNET has an article about: Is StarOffice ready to take on MS Office? A quote: "Bottom line for Sun and StarOffice: If you keep aiming where Microsoft has already been, then your opportunities will be in China. A better tactic is to take aim at where the IT market is going to be and your opportunities will be much wider.""

    Staroffice is nowhere near the quality of Office XP.

    Corporate users care more about usability, standards, and TRAINING than license costs.

    Ahahaha!

    I'm glad you're still living in 1998. Wake the fuck up.
    Sun's U3 boxes can't even beat Dell 8-way Xeons in the SAP benchmarks. The 32 way Unisys Win2k box beat the 64 way Sun box in the SAP benchmarks. How's that for I/O? Check the SAP site yourself.
