Would you elaborate on that?  I have both Star Office 5.2 and Open
Office 1.0 on my machine and I have to say, after using both, I prefer
Open Office.  Maybe it's just a preference thing, but I don't like the
way SO is presented on one window.  I do like both ok, but lean towards
Open Office.  What do you mean it brings every computer you've tried it
on to its knees?  It works fine on mine...466MHz Intel Celeron
processor, 256 Megs P133 mem, RH 8.0 OS.
