StarOffice 8 Beta Set To Debut

TechWeb:

Sun Monday said that the newest edition of its alternative to Microsoft Office, StarOffice 8, will be available for downloading in a beta version on Thursday.

StarOffice, which shares a code base with the open-source OpenOffice application suite, will feature enhanced compatibility with Microsoft Office, including importation of password-protected documents and a database module much more like Microsoft's own Access.

The beta will be available for several weeks, and will be replaced by a final version of the for-fee StarOffice 8 by mid-2005, Sun said.

StarOffice 8 can be downloaded starting Thursday from the Sun Web site.
