Staroffice has been around forever. IIRC, it was distributed free at one time for personal use... and the OSS community loved it. They they started charging for it and OpenOffice was launched (forked) shortly after? Staroffice fell off the map as far as OSS is concerned. It was just a pay version of OpenOffice... why pay for it?
I'm not sure why google would choose Staroffice over OpenOffice... Maybe the people over at Sun will agree to bundle the stupid google desktop and OpenOffice won't? lol

Here is an old comparison between SO and OO.

There isn't *that* much of a difference... when you take in consideration a lot of the stuff that SO includes can be found elsewhere for OO. Thanks for the creative commons.

Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
