I was a little wary about buying this over a microsoft office program, as money is tight I went for this and I have to say its amazing. I would go as far as saying that from now on I will not pay for over priced microsoft products when this does exactly the same for a much smaller price. The menus are pretty much the same and it was so easy to set it all up. I only wish I had found this earlier it would have saved a lot of money!!!
Star Office 9 is a multiplatform suite: I tested on both Windows Xp Professional and a rpm-based Linux distribution. The suite is powerful, reliable with a nice graphic user interface. With less than 40 Euro I received a box with a DVD and a CD. Smart and useful is eFax, allowing you to send fax from your PC. I strongly recommend Star Office 9. It is a powerful alternative to the more expensive Office 2007 by Microsoft. Suite was tested with the following configuration: - Pentium P4 2.66 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, P5-S800-VM motherboard by ASUS; graphic card by ASUS with NVIDIA chipsed and 128 MB of video RAM; 80 GB hard disk drive and internal DVD reader/writer by Philips.
