Although I've been very much accustomed to using Windows office software packages, I've done my share of exploring the internet for other possibilities and developments in office software. Of course, Mac packages for
Mac users are understandably functional for them. Macintosh software packages are as globally popular as Windows, and recently with Linux.
So when I've come across an office software package from
Sun Microsystems, it appeared to me that this company doesn't stop at nothing but the best. As it has emerged from the
mobile communication industry to be one of the top providers of excellent communication hardware and software, it's no wonder that Sun has also crossed borders from communication to office utility packages.
One of their latest products in the market today is the StarOffice 8. When Microsoft releases a beta version of any new software, it has become a trend for other companies to do the same. The patch for StarOffice 8 can be easily downloaded for beta test at their website http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/index.jsp. What is the main difference of StarOffice compared to MS Office suites? If anything, businesses will not shy away from trying out StarOffice 8 because of its comparably cheaper price.
