"StarOffice will be a lot easier to support, particularly since if there is a problem, one can review the Openoffice.org source to see what's going on."

Come on! How many corporate users and support/implementation people are going to know anything about reading the source code?

I am talking about the army of corporate MIS staff that wander corridoors installing applications on desktops, and the smaller number who use server based technologies to accomplish the same thing.

I'm talking about the unattended installation scripts, the Winstall packages and MSI files, the SMS package definitions, Intellimirror, the Office Update Inventory Tool, Detect and Repair from an administrative install point on the network, the Profile Wizard and all the other tools that prevent thousands of miles of legwork from people who don't need to know how to program and don't need to be paid as much as those who do.
