Pros: Powerful, Free Cons: Browser and Email Programs are Confusing
Star Office 5.1 is a great suite of applications that allows the user to create not only text documents, graphics and slide show presentations, but also spreadsheets, html documents and databases.
Pros: Free, powerful, reliable Cons: Takes over desktop while running
Man, do I love this program! Sure, it took me a long time to download (around 60 MB at http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/), but it was well-worth my time. Welcome to the wonderful world of open-source software, where some truly amazing programs can...
Pros: Fast, Stable, No-slow down, all-in-one, Free Cons: No phone support
Star Office is great, and it's the way software should be moving. First it's available for every platform, and is 100% compatible with every program. Star Office is an office suite and much much more!!

1.What does the product do?
Star Office is a “fully integrated productivity environment, including: spreadsheet, word processor, presentation, graphics, database, event...
Pros: Cheap, decent office suite Cons: Not as good as commercial, annoying interface
Star Office is a recently acquired division of Sun Microsystems, a fierce competitor of Microsoft. As you all know, it is available for free. Unless you are really a hardcore MS fan and user, it is worth trying out. Some people like Star Office and some...
Pros: Compatible, full featured, free (as in beer) Cons: Help files and integration can be confusing
I've been dreaming of this for years; a sleek, powerful, stable office suite that is compatible with most word processors and spreadsheets and lets me take control. My dream suite has come, and it is Star Office.
Pros: Free, alternative to Microsoft, handles all your needs Cons: takes over desktop, takes over most tasks without asking
This is a wonderful product. Somehow, they have managed to do everything Microsoft Office does, add a few other things, and give it away for free. In case you don't get it, free means you don't have to shell out the hundreds of bucks for Office 2000....
Pros: Reads document files from other suites like Office and Smartsuite. Cons: too integrated, may be too complex for novice users.
From my trials using StarOffice 5.0, the environment seems stable enough to complete against many other "office suites". The program packs a large number of usable functions within itself that are common among most "office...
Pros: Complete Application Integration, All-in-One, Great Browser Cons: Environment kept crashing, Had to clean up HDD after uninstalling
I was very excited after going to www.sun.com and reading up on StarOffice 5.1. At a glance, it has everything one could want out of an office suite. Word processor, spreadsheets, database, email/news program, internet browser, image editing, etc. have...
Pros: Price, features and variety of file formats. Cons: Lack of small-office components.
StarOffice 5.1, is a productivity suite from Sun Microsystems. StarOffice is a good and inexpensive alternative to all the other suites out there. How inexpensive you may ask? Try, free. That’s right, it's free for downloading and personal use. But I...
Pros: Free and full featured Cons: Not enough MS Office compatibility
Well, the price for this product means it would have to be pretty bad to not be of use and useful to somebody. But unless you are totally new to so-called office productivity suites and you never receive documents and presentations from others you would...
Pros: Full Featured! Powerful! Platforms! And that Price! Cons: So So Microsoft Office compatibity
What office suite allows you to develop Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Access Databases, Email (POP only), and costs 15.95?
Star Office 5.1
Well, unless you have a fast connection and can download 65...
Pros: Lots of features and FREE Cons: Takes over your desktop, lacks some very basic features, difficult to get the hang of it.
A real big office suite for free - would you believe it? Sun Microsystems has done it. But unfortunately, it does have a lot of points that could - should - be improved upon.
It is my sincere opinion that nowadays a lot of software is heavily...
Pros: Almost Free, Easy to use Cons: 60MB download, Total desktop a little confusing.
Probably the only productivity tool in the market that can compete against MS Office. It would compete even better if SUN would not charge $9.95, plus shipping and handling, for the promo CD, which includes one CD for all supported platforms, as stated...
