StarOffice is the commercial product and has commercial support contract options.
If you read David Pogue's "The perfect thing" about the history of the iPod, he discusses this "ipod bubble" phonomenon happening to ordinary people -- able-bodied people. Why should someone with cerebral palsy who moves differently not be allowed to keep up on current events/watch videos like any other person? I don't even care if they listen to MP3s.

I just want to thank US Cellular. They sell one phone with naked android, and one phone with HTC Sense. Both are running the Android 2.1, which is almost up to date. (Only the Nexus one and some tablets have 2.2).
This is the key, I think: ship the Google code and only the google code, and ship an up to date OS.
Many devices are still running 1.6 and some 1.5. This is unacceptable. Blackberry is no better. They sell their OS upgrades as a feature with their phones. Not OK.

It's called RunAs. More information is available at: http://www.intelliadmin.com/index.php/2007/09/elevate-processes-from-the-command-prompt-in-vista/
You can also right click on any application/executable icon and select "Run As..." (XP) or Run As Administrator (7/Vista.) You can also although this is a bad idea elevate the entire command prompt.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
