This latest beta release from Sun has been receiving a lot of press recently, and it's easy to see why.
It is claimed to provide tighter integration with Microsoft Office, and there have certainly been significant improvements to the database tool, StarOffice Base.
The first thing you'll notice on installation is the much improved interface, which even looks a lot more like Office. Having opened various Microsoft documents within StarOffice, we are happy to say that it does a much better job of retaining the existing formatting.
On the downside, you are forced to register with the Sun website in order to download the software.
