Star Openoffice.org 1.0 Review - Review your Options
Linked by William Ku on Sun 16th Jun 2002 18:45 UTC
Features, Office You may have heard of Sun Microsystems' StarOffice which is being offered as a viable and cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office. Openoffice.org is the open source (or, free indefinitely) cousin of StarOffice. Staroffice used to be free as in you can freely download and install in as many computers as you like but Sun Microsystems has recently decided to charge for Staroffice. However, please do not fret as Openoffice.org will always be free and we are going to show you in this article how and why Openoffice.org instead of MS Office and StarOffice is for you.

On the review

In addition, I would like to comment that my review is done in the stance of an average user, and is meant more for average users and as such, might not be able to fully address the needs of power users. Again, I apologise for this. Also, I am not neither affiliated with Openoffice.org nor any of the other entities mentioned in my review.

You have not done any proper comparisons, never actually shared your installations experience, using experience and so on. So it couldn't be considered as a review, but just a listing of features. An average Joe would much prefer a thorough review, but of course, not something power user kind like benchmarking, architecture comparisons and so on.
