JC I will use the portal version. When I'm on the road and need to start a spreadsheet or doc, I go right to work and can edit it later and print it now or later. This is the perfect flexibility tool. I like M$ Office, who doesn't but Star Portal is going to be out of sight!

Star(Office) Wars Brewing? Reuters wired.com Now people can experience for themselves what we've been talking about for over a year ... word processing and spreadsheets on a robust operating system (Linux) that doesn't crash. The "free" part is just a bonus. If 40% of MSFT's revenue is from Office (over $400?) ... margins will suffer with a free product like StarOffice. Wait until people get a taste of Linux. MSFT may still be an internet play ... but the days of trading for 25X sales are just about over. Bill's veins must be poppin' out of his head. Best of luck.
