Just FYI for those of you who don't pirate (just kidding ;-):
http://www.sun.com/staroffice/6.0beta/
It's a beta, so don't expect reliability just yet. Someone also
mentioned the Solaris version isn't available yet, only Windows and
Linux as of right now. StarOffice 6 is the commercial version of
the dual-licensed GPL (copyrights held by Sun) OpenOffice
(http://www.openoffice.org) project, based on the original
StarOffice source code release by Sun last year.
According to this informal poll by the independent Windows 2000
magazine, 15% of office users use StarOffice:

If you are looking for a small, lightweight, but very
MSOffice-compatible office suite for just Windows, Software602 of
Jacksonville, FL (developers originally from Romania) has just
released its latest 602 Pro PC Suite "2001" version. The very
capable base version is free (as well as free registration for the
non-Plus version), and they make money on the extra network services
in the "Plus" version as well as corporate site licenses (which are
very, very cheap). You can grab it here:
