The latest version of Star Office is available for beta download at the moment. for those of you who do not know what it is, well it is an Office Suite. No need for MS Office, no need to pay it's high price, just download for free and away you go. Superb. The beta can be got from http://www.sun.com/staroffice/6.0beta/
