StarOffice 6.0 can be installed on up to 5 machines with a single license. This will tend to reduce the unit sales of StarOffice 6.0. Sun is trying to garner market and mind share at this point, I guess. On Amazon.UK StarOffice 6.0 is #6 on advanced orders(will be available May 31), Star Office 5.2 is #98, MS Office XP is not in top 100 though Academic Version of Office is #2. Interestingly, the Academic Version of Office costs 60% more than in the US. StarOffice will do much better overseas since they are more sensitive to price and/or they resent MSFT's monopolistic practices considerably more than in the US.
