Differences between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org

Hi All,

I have forgotten who asked me this question. But I think it might be 
interesting to others.

I got the information from my colleague who works on StarOffice. He 
pointed me two URLs:

*Differences between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org*

   * The source code available at OpenOffice.org does not consist of
     all of the StarOffice code. Usually, the reason for this is that
     Sun pays to license third-party code to include in StarOffice that
     which it does not have permission to make available in
     OpenOffice.org. Those things which are or will be present in
     StarOffice but are not available on OpenOffice.org include:
         o Certain fonts (including, especially, Asian language fonts)
         o The database component (Adabas D)
         o Some templates
         o Extensive Clip Art Gallery
         o Some sorting functionality (Asian versions)
         o Certain file filters


StarOffice 7 software is based on OpenOffice.org 1.1 and adds a 
commercial spellchecker, Adabas D database, special fonts, additional 
clipart and enterprise features such as the StarOffice Configuration 
Manager. Sun also provides a basic warranty, 60-day end user support, 
and legal indemnification with StarOffice.

Very nice seeing you there in Morel's and thanks for the beer.
