Star Office - downloaded it last night and played with it...and I like it!! It kinda reminds me of a marriage between XEmacs & MS Office. XEmacs because it tries to be an all-in-one desktop manager and MS Office for look and feel. Here's my initial scoop... Good Points: * Apps are similar in look & feel to MS office (good for user migration) * Good desktop controls - intuitive navigation/workspace. * Good interop with MS Apps - MS App friendly * All apps appear to be capable of import/export MS App file format * Nice Presentation tool Bad Points: * Completely takes over the desktop; install it's own Taskbar and overlays Windows 'Start' button - this is a little overdone If I didn't already have Office I would use it.
