Star office , which is free from SUN, people will get used to free software from SUN, whenever SUN charge for its software, people will not just buy Does your SUNW analysis apply equally to MSFT? Have consumers refused to buy software from MSFT because they are "used to" free software in the form of Internet Explorer and Hotmail? Sun is just stealing a play here from the Microsoft playbook. When Access and Powerpoint first came out, they were inferior. But MSFT made them readily available, or "free", by bundling them with two very good applications, Excel and Word. Only after market acceptance because they were free, were Access and PowerPoint improved. -Mitch
