It concerned me less whether I could rebuild StarOffice and more that it would read and write my M$-generated files on my GNU system. I'm sure if I stuck a SCO or Sun box on my LAN it wouldn't pick a fight with my other machines, whatever the shortcomings seen in those products. When MicroSoft decides to play nice among other OS's instead of being the Fat Cat, THEN I might be interested in more of their software.
