Have any of you tried the Free StarOffice that comes with Google Pack now?

I have tried it. Got rid fo Google Pack though as it kept restarting downloads etc. I personally still prefer OpenOffice. I don't see too much different between the two.

For the direct download of StarOffice from google use:

http://gpdl.google.com/installers/ci_so/en/8.0.9189.0/setup.exe

The differences from Sun's web site are:

StarOffice 8 software is a commercial product built on OpenOffice.org’s open source code to provide the best value, multi-platform Microsoft compatible office suite aimed at organizations and consumers. OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the leading open-source project aimed at users of free software, independent developers and the open source community. StarOffice includes licensed-in, third-party technology such as:
1) Spellchecker and thesaurus
2) Mail Merge Wizard does not have the ability to send mail merge documents as emails.
3) Select fonts including Windows metrically equivalent fonts and Asian language fonts
4) Select filters, including Asian word processor filters
5) Integration of additional templates and extensive clipart gallery
Migration Tools and Macro Migration Wizard. The converted macros does not run in OpenOffice.org
6) Sun Java System Configuration Manager for Solaris, Linux and Windows In addition to product differences, StarOffice offers:
a) Updates/upgrades on CD
b) Sun installation and user documentation
c) 24x7 Web based support for enterprises and consumers
d) Help desk support
e) Warranties and indemnification guarantee Training

THANK YOU!!!

That's exactly what I was looking for!

It's just nice to have some free options to install on Client's computers without having to install a pirated version of Office. Some people just do not want to pay for Software! :O
