VistaSource faces stiff competition from Sun, which already offers its StarOffice suite for Linux and for several other operating systems as a free download. Sun also is planning to offer a version of the software, StarPortal, for ASPs.

Even worse for Applix, though, is that Sun can afford to lose money on the product because it sees StarPortal chiefly as a means through which it can sell ASPs more of its own hardware.
