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.""

    I don't think the user (relatively bright, but only moderately computer literate) I put on Moz 9.3 (Yes, on Windows. *sigh*) has noticed it yet either. She was having some problems with a site under IE 5.0 so I loaded up Moz, installed a jre, and told her to call me if she had any problems. She called me once (wasn't set to bypass the corp. web proxy for intranet sites, my bad) and I haven't heard another complaint about _that_ piece of software since. Plenty of complaints about others...of course.
