E-mail and calendar functions that were disliked by users of StarOffice 5.2 have been removed from 1.0, said Zaheda Bhorat, a community manager for and a marketing manager for Sun in Santa Clara, California. Sun, in Palo Alto, California, also provides training for StarOffice, which will be priced at under US$100, according to an earlier Sun announcement. StarOffice 6.0, announced in March and slated for availability this month, comes with additional features such as a database and special fonts. Sun’s desire to capture business customers led it to offer paid support contracts for 6.0, and still allow free downloads of an improved release, 1.0, for users who didn’t require support or training. The StarOffice 5.2 software was distributed as a free download prior to the release of 6.0. The source code from the previous release, StarOffice 5.2, was the code base for both 1.0 and StarOffice 6.0, but the two products are both advances over that version.
1.0 provides users with a near-identical software package to Microsoft Corp.’s Office suite, featuring word processor, spreadsheet and presentation programs, said in a statement Wednesday.
