If, in fact, StarOffice is GPL'ed by Sun, this will be a good step for not only Linux, but those that have to run applications between Linux and Microsoft. However, I don't think this will put any type of a dent in the general computing community. The general population is satisfied with Microsoft, for one reason or another. Change would require work, and nobody likes that.
