It's basicly what will be Staroffice 6.0.  It does have a few missing
componets that are in staroffice like spell checker, e-mail,
scheduling...etc etc. I would just hold of and wait for the new 6.0 to
come out so you can get all the bells and whistles that go along with it.

I does seem to get getting very nice though.  All the applications are
split up now and all run in their own windows.
