The Emerging ODF Environment Part III: Spotlight on StarOffice 8
,----[ Quote ]
| Each of these interviews illustrates the unique attributes of each flavor
| of ODF-compliant software. KOffice is an open source component of the KDE
| desktop, and thus represents an interesting contrast and alternative to
| the Office on Windows environment. OpenOffice is also an open source suite,
| and is the lineal descendant of the code that formed the starting point for
| the ODF development effort. And StarOffice in many ways is OpenOffice. As
| you will read below, the same code that represents OpenOffice is utilized
| in StarOffice as well, which in turn is distinguished by additional
| value-added features, available support and conversion tools. Like
| KOffice, StarOffice runs on its developer's operating system ? Solaris,
| representing another alternative to a Windows/Office environment. But
| unlike MSOffice, StarOffice (and KOffice) will also run on GNU/Linux ?
| and OpenOffice will also run on FreeBSD and Mac OSX.
