Re: OpenOffice versus Star Office?
I use both StarOffice and OpenOffice and I don't see any difference. I hear there are some extra templates or such things in StarOffice, but I haven't noticed. As I understand it, StarOffice is only available now if one buys support. If that is true, that would probably answer the question.
OpenOffice 4.1 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint

SO 5.2 is the original source for OOo. When it was released into the public domain with the name OpenOffice.org, a commercial SO branch continued. That has now ended. SO9 is now a support release of OOo3. The only changes are for branding purposes (icons and images) and inclusion of freely available extensions. The only advantage to using SO9 is that the updates are incremental rather than a full reinstallation.deanei wrote:I have downloaded both OpenOffice suite & Star Office suite -which one is the best to regularly use and keep updated -I am a touch confused

Re: OpenOffice versus Star Office?
Isn't the database component of SO completely different from OOo?

Re: OpenOffice.org versus StarOffice?
Indeed, thanks. It seems Adabas has been dropped some time ago. See also FAQs for StarOffice Software:
9.
Q: What are the differences between StarOffice 9 Software and the OpenOffice.org 3.0?
A: At the core binary level there are no differences. StarOffice 9 Software is Sun's professional distribution of OOo and comes with:
- Extensions and mail/calendar functionality comes with StarOffice Software, with OpenOffice.org you have to download each extension separately.
- Sun warranty and indemnification.
- Hot fixes, patches and updates (OOo is full installation).
- Committed timelines.
- 3 free warranty support calls (in retail).
- Customization, if business opportunity is big enough.
