Well, I just spent 2.5 hours downloading StarOffice 6.0 beta whatever..and it does the same thing that OpenOffice build 638 does..when I hit a popdown menu it has an unrecoverable error and exits. Until Sun gets it to run on all current Linux distributions it's dead as fara as I am concerned. I've been running 5.2 under 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 and now 7.2 with little more trouble then it's a bit slow. This POS doesn't run at all. :(
It's a case of "get it out the door" and it's sad.
I don't think it's that. The initial estimate for a release date for SO 6.0 was by the end of the year. Once this beta came around, the release date was pushed back to the first half of 2002. I don't think Sun is afraid to push it back farther, if need be. If the product is good (my _only_ gripe with SO 5.2 was its bloatedness), I am more than willing to pay for it, especially if they have a subscription option where I get the newest version on CD by mail. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
