I just got an email from Sun explaining that the beta
version of StarOffice 6.0 will expire on March 31,
2002. They are offering a patch to extend the
expiration date to June 3 at
http://www.sun.com/staroffice/so6beta_patch.html .
Sun is moving to a payment model for StarOffice 6.0.
Unless there is a "killer" function that you can't live
without, I would recommend moving to OpenOffice, which
is the open source version and can be found at
http://www.openoffice.org . OpenOffice binaries are
available for Linux, Solaris, and Windoze.
