Saw this on Slashdot first and GoogleSystem is carrying the original news:
Apparantly Sun wasn't making any money out of StarOffice and via Google they might be able to get a couple of thousands downloads and maybe even, in the near future, lure the not so impressed Vista folks to move to StarOffice. Check out GoogleSystem's post.
StarOffice 8 is a full-featured office suite that contains a word processor, a spreadsheet tool, applications for presentations, databases, math formulas and drawing. It has support for most Microsoft Office formats (except for the formats introduced in Office 2007), but it can also export documents as PDF out of the box. The software normally costs $70, but it's available for free in Google Pack. It's worth noting that StarOffice has a huge installer (more than 140 MB), so you should download it only if you have a fast Internet connection.
