I partly agree. But if a better office product came out for a lower price people would switch; the product would have to import/export MS format files to be competitive.

Problem is it would take thousands of coding hours to develop a rich and integrated office suite. That's the real reason it hasn't been done ; it really is a technical feat. Perhaps the Star office is a base to build from ?
