StarOffice 8 review

Saturday 8 October 2005, 5:16 AM

Excellent reply to Microsoft monopoly


This is a very good product. Most users need only word processor and slide presentation capabilities. Simple presentations and text documents are fully compatible with MS Office. If deployed as a mix with MS Office, most of the requirements for small, medium and large enterprises can be met at fractional cost.

Overview

StarOffice 8

Editors rating
Rating: 7.0
Verdict

StarOffice 8 is an impressive upgrade of Sun's bargain productivity suite. It's a good buy for small and large businesses, but if you need an email program and a photo editor, consider Corel's WordPerfect Office 12 Small Business Edition.

Typical price

£ 45
