Sony To Package StarOffice On European PCs

Jahf writes "This News.com article talks about how Sony is adopting Sun's Star Office suite over Microsoft office in some areas. It's nice to see it being adopted, maybe this is the beginning of a trend. While Star Office is still not as optimized as it could be (read: it eats memory and can be a little slow even compared to MS Office), it has all the features most people need and then some at a much better price." Specifically, as reader Yacoubean points out (pointing to coverage at InfoWorld),"The PCs will be sold in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland."

You can't compare any product with MS Office. It is one of the best products I have ever seen. I don't know how they do it, but it is extremely fast even in my machine.
Adaption of StarOffice may be good, but I would prefer MS Office over any product out there. It is simply the best in its area.
