Review: Sun StarOffice 7
ValourX writes "Here's the Internet's first comprehensive review of Sun's new StarOffice 7 suite. With the ability to export to PDF and SWF and greatly improved conversion filters, Sun's $80 office suite is more than a match for the upcoming ultra-expensive Microsoft Office System 2003."
YUO FAIL IT!@#
I am no longer a man. ARRRRGH TALK LIKE A PIRaaat!
save your $80 and use OpenOffice. Or pirate MS Office Xp. Or buy GoBe Productive.
You are a moron.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
James 1:2-8
Except it's not really any of those things is it? Or so barely any of them that merely making that statement would put any advertiser in a potentially trickey situation.
It's not really "compatible" at all with Office. It can barely read some types of office files, that's it. No integration or communication of any kind. "Excellent" procut? Have actually used it? Have you actually read what others are saying about it?
Low price? Well $80 seems low, but with no "upgrade" pricing, expect to spend that $80 every year from now on. Also, it's limited functionality and usefulness may make that MS Office disk actually cost $479 instead of $399 when you realize you should have just bought office and had a great package in the first place.
