Google Pack Adds StarOffice

derrida writes The GoogleOS Blog has the news that Google Pack, their collection of applications, now includes StarOffice. 'It will be interesting to see why Google didn't choose to include OpenOffice.org, the primary difference between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org being that StarOffice includes some proprietary components like clip-art graphics, fonts, templates and tools for Microsoft Office migration.'"

Turns out to be uninteresting and irrelevant

I went to pack.google.com, figuring that since I have a gmail account I am on good terms with those folks and could join up and use some of this cool stuff.

The window in Seamonkey on my NetBSD machine came up saying 'Google Pack requires Windows XP or Vista'. It also provided a friendly link telling me where Google Pack for the Mac could be found. WTF?? They don't even know how to identify a browser string and COMPLETELY cut me out? I maintain one machine here with Windows 2000 on it, which should be enough, one would think. When did Google turn into an operation to promote 'upgrades to XP'???
