Sun StarOffice 5.2 Reviews

Many people use there PC's as general purpose machines (for movies, games, writing etc) and therefore a good office package is a must. But which one, and how much do you want to pay? From reading opinions on DooYoo it seems that most people are using a version of the Microsoft Office suite, which is now in it's XP version. The ...

Star Office is a fully features office application suite that is available without charge from Sun Microsystems. For some being free is a major draw for Star Office, but for many professional users it is a cause for concern. If you are going to invest resources for rolling out the key desktop application, investing in money in support ...

I emailed the folks at Sun Microsystems to ask for a copy of Star Office and they very kindly sent me a free CD to install the programme. I have had three goes at installing it but find that it seemed to 'hang' and then stop all together. On the fourth attempt I managed to get it installed but it was so slow to start and respond to ...

First of all, I know this category is for StarOffice 5.2, but I don't think unlike a future StarOffice 6 there is too much difference between the current two, for me to not post an opinion here. Anyway, Sun's StarOffice is really excellent! It's basically an office software suite (word processor, spreadsheet, database, ...

Before we begin, I really do have nothing significant against Microsoft. To get 90% market share in the home sector, they must have done something right - no business plan on its own can achieve that, no matter how aggressive.

Sun Star Office 5.2 is one of the best office suites made. It has everything you want and more. The Star Writer does more or less the same as Microsoft Word 2000. The Star Calc is much better than Microsoft Excel 2000 in many ways. The presentations are great and the Star Schedule is just outstanding. All the software is compatible with other ...

I too have read the rave reviews that star office has received, and so I thought let's get a copy afterall it's free. I dutifully downloaded the package overnight, it took about 5.5 hours for the complete suite, you can however download it piecemeal in 8 separate stages. Great I thought when installed and finally opened, until I tried ...

I few years ago i brought a pc and it came with Microsoft Office about a year later i had a hard drive failure. I lost Windows 95 as the person who sold it did not give me the disk with the machine. I went and and brought Windows 98. Ever since I have been looking for something to replace Microsoft Office then a few months ago i just happen to ...

The recent aquisition of Star Office by Sun has lead to the product becoming free to everybody who wants it (which it was before), without registration (which it wasn't). A completely integrated office suite for free? It can't be any good, can it? Well, yes, it can, and yes, it is. If you are used to using Microsoft Office, ...
