Remember, when they bought StarDivision they bought more than just StarOffice. StarDivision was working on a new product at the time that Sun ate up. It _was_ called StarPortal and was, as I was told via the rumormill, a web based MDI that is identical to the MDI StarOffice uses. So, they could in theory get everyone to use this wonderful new product they have, they could get everyone used to the interface and then start charging a minimal fee to have that be a web-based portal product that is always in the latest version, gets new features all the time and requires no maintenance from an IT perspective. All for a low monthly fee. Sounds great doesn't it. :) Trust me they aren't eating anything, thier herding the buffalo to the edge of the cliff and doing it in a way that the buffalo will pay for the awesome view as they are getting pushed over the side.
