I think the chance of Sun dropping the Linux, Windows, and other versions of the application are almost nil. It would make absolutely no sense to do so since it is entirely likely that these platform potentially account for that majority of sales for this product. It is definately in Sun's best interest to provide cross platform alternatives to M$ Office and I am sure this was a major factor in their selection of StarOffice over other similar products.
I view this as good news, not only for the Linux community, but for the software industry as a whole. The big question however is whether Sun will be able to effectively market the product and do the work necessary to convince enough users that this is a viable alternative to M$ Office.
