StarOffice vs. OpenOffice

[Christopher Wagner]

I've played with both your referenced versions of StarOffice.  I found 5.2
to be a bit kludgy, but found the 6.0 beta to be very useful and quite
powerful.  I enjoy using it and frequently use it instead of W0rd. :)

Does anyone have any experience with these
applications?  I'm looking for advice since I don't
have time to try all the versions available.
I need a competent word processing program and a
spreadsheet.  Graphics, Presentation programs, etc.
are of secondary interest.  The programs must operate
under both Linux/Unix and Windows (98/95/XP).  Data
compatability with MS Word and Works would be nice.
StarOffice is available as versions 5.2 and 6.0 Beta,
and OpenOffice is available as a variety of builds.
Any recommendations or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
