LITTLEWHITEDOG.COM has completed its comprehensive look at STAR OFFICE 5.2 from Sun Micro Systems. Here are a few clips:
"With a quick couple of mouse clicks StarOffice can almost completely replace the desktop environment of Windows. You don't of course have to use this option and can leave StarOffice just like it is, but even then it has the feel of a secondary desktop. When you start StarOffice the whole program comes up, unlike MS Office, then you choose which part of the suite you wish to use. If I want to write a letter in MS Word I start Word, but in StarOffice you start the whole program and then choose StarWriter. StarOffice starts in a desktop like view complete with shortcuts to the various programs available, you can change this to any folder in your system. I have mine set to open the 'My Documents' folder, but it will only show folders and files not Windows specific icons like the 'Recycle bin', IE, Network Neighborhood, etc. StarOffice also contains a 'Start' button that mimics the Windows 'Start' button, leaving off Windows' specific things and adding StarOffice related items."
