Add another 200MB to Flight Simulator? The network is the flight simulator? :) Just imagine combining this with cable, DSL, thin clients, and huge secure servers. Oooo... For those who don't get the reference here, it's to the StarOffice Java server. This is the big prize. It's merely a fun prank giving the Windows suite away for free. -JCJ from... stardivision.com StarOffice 5.1 for Java Especially for the growing market of Network Computing, Star Division created StarOffice 4.0 for Java, which enables any Java-capable machine to provide all the functionality of StarOffice. StarOffice 5.1 for Java now takes it one step further. StarOffice for Java is a 100% pure Java application that provides the StarOffice Desktop on any Network Computer. StarOffice for Java is not an office suite reduced to only 20% of the total functionality, but rather takes advantage of the existing technology of the StarOffice components, based on the specially tuned Client/Server concept, and makes them available even on low-performance Java machines. It is therefore irrelevant how many users work on the StarOffice Server simultaneously. You are also able share all documents and resources. Especially the "Total Cost of Ownership" can be significantly reduced by implementing StarOffice for Java in collaboration with the StarOffice Server. Thanks to the platform-independent programming language, Java, it is not necessary to install the application on each workplace. StarOffice for Java can be run on any Java-capable browser. All configurations and settings can be made by the system administrator on the server and therefore at a centralized location.
