Yes, it's a world of marketing! Shame!

And that is important. I believe M$ already released a Unix version of
outlook ... give them time and they'll do the same with M$ office; if
by then, there's not a good, well supported, better marketeered, office
suite for Unix, we could see M$ products running in many Linux boxes ...
not even Well's could have forseen such a dark future.
BTW, are there any changes between StarOffice5.1 "pre-sun" and
"post-sun"?
