Customer Reviews

Supported Operating System (2004-12-31)

I've used StarOffice since before Sun bought the rights. I thought it is a very good and reliable office suite, and affordable too. My last version was 5.3 and am thinking about upgrading, but I thought the CD retail version supports MS, Solaris, and Linux operating system. If it is so, how come Sun Solaris and Linux is not listed as the supported OS?

The most effective yet least known (2004-08-19)

I used star office 6.0 for over 2 years and was very satisfied with it. As an accountant I was working on big files (>2MB) and I've never had problems with my calculations, reports and presentations and they were very professional and I would add, very cost effective compared to microsoft's office suite - most interesting in this world where everyone is cost conscious and/or talking of cost cutting, except microsoft indoctrinated scrooges/fans! I also had no problem opening ms office files, except that there were sometimes formatting & formula issues, but ms office however would not even open star office files. Having said that I welcome any improvement, enhancement and upgrade to the 6.0 versionI moved to Canada and I'm surprised that we cannot find Star office suite here. Is this country a preserved pasture of microsoft or what? I was always made to believe in a free market economy there is/should always be choices - well I have not seen it up to now. Can someone light my path please.shekarix5@yahoo.com

Greatly improved (2004-06-21)

StarOffice 7's usability has been imroved significantly over the prior versions.As before, it runs on multiple platforms (which is essential for me).No more crashes (the application can run for several weeks without restarton my Solaris box). User interface is improved as well: faster and more intuitive.StarOffice has comes with same functionality as MS office (at a fraction of the cost) and there are no problems with MS office interoperability!!

works fine (2004-06-18)

I use StarOffice every day without the slightest difficulty. Writer imports .doc files without any font problems (this is on Windows), Calc and Impress are fine as well. I'm very glad not to have to pay $500 - more than the price of a PC! - to Micro$oft.

I have to wonder about the legitimacy some of the reviews below. For instance, all those who give StarOffice one star and compare it unfavorably to OpenOffice. StarOffice is *based* on OpenOffice ... the look and feel and functionality are *identical*; StarOffice is just enhanced to do a better job of reading MS Office files. Makes no sense at all to love OpenOffice and give StarOffice one star. Methinks Bill's droids are trying to game the system.

Is zero stars possible (2004-06-11)

Absolutely the worst Office Suite I have ever used and purchased. If you want to be aggravated by non-working applications, errors coverting MS Office Docs, Excel spread-sheets and database-java script errors then this is for you.

For the rest of the user community use MS Office 2003, I purchased this and I am never considering anyother alternative.
