Free release of Star for Windows - no way.

1. Bean counters won't let them!
2. Companies that paid for Star before acquisition will
be upset.
3. Would aid Msft in the DOJ case.

I think the thin client office suite is a real future thing and Sun needs a current desktop strategy. Helping Linux or creating a groovy IMAC like sparc box may be money better spent.

IMHO

Anyone try Star Office? I'm downloading the 62MB pig right now. I'll load it up and take a peek and provide an *un-bias* review of it on this thread ;)
