how would putting Star Office on the net be helpful? - If I can download it, then yeah, I see the point, but I don't understand the advantage of putting it on the net - also, MSFT has the deepest of pockets to go free-isp & even take over YHOO's customer base thanks.

RE: Sun plans to roll out a new version of StarOffice, called StarPortal, by the end of this year that will be free Are there strings attached? The reason I ask is that CNN's Digital Jam asked a guest analyst about this and he said that it's not really free. He said you have to buy a Java Workstation to get it.
