Why does a multi-million dollar software firm seem to have no idea about major/minor software versioning? A quick pass over the binary packages included in this release tells me that the only major changes here are XFree 4 and gnome 1.2. For this we're going to version 7.0? Shouldn't this 7.0 release have included KDE 2 (not beta) and kernel 2.4 (not beta) at least to make it a new major version?
Just thinking. If this thing is actually going to be modular so you don't have to start all parts of it at once, might those parts of StarOffice that make up the web browser and the email client pose some competition for projects like Mozilla and other email client projects? (Not saying it's a bad thing.) I would actually consider using StarOffice as my browser and email client if it didn't take 5 years to start!
