Yes, Sun Microsystems now owns "Star Office" - and Star Office 5.1 for Windows KICKS ****! ..and it's free for download!!!! (I bought the CD for $9.95 + shiping) Star Office 5.1 is a full featured office suite that integrates well with Windows and has literally amazing capabilities, including an integrated internet browser and Java runtime enviroment.

There is a trick to installing it successfully (at least I had to do it this way) - 1. Copy the "Office 51" folder to your hard drive. 2. Open "Office 51" and find "Setup.zip" folder; unzip it and place its contents into the "Office 51" folder (okay the overwrite of "Setup.exe" 3. Now double click on the new "Setup.exe"
When you are done you can delete the "Office 51" folder that you used to set the whole thing up, and get back some disk space.
The whole thing is about 1/4 the size of MS Office.
Don't miss your chance to thumb your nose at Microsoft!
