Sic Transit Gloria Sun

Last I looked at Columbia's website, they suggested that we have both Word and Wordperfect, in order to placate those professors who might want to be a bit iconoclastic and reject the usefulness of Microsoft. I thought I might save a few coins by looking at Sun Microsystem's StarOffice, which incorporated most of Wordperfect's technology a while ago and was being given away for free in order to spite Redmond.

Lo and behold, I just discovered that Sun no longer gives the software away for free, even for download. How things change...

Having seen Star Office, back in its free days, I cannot imagine actually paying for it. In my case, Dell gave me a free copy of Wordperfect with my computer, which I have yet to install. It seems hard to imagine that Wordperfect is still common anywhere.

I was surprised by the same thing recently while trying to download StarOffice for my lab. I think that Sun still allows you to use their Beta versions free, for what that's worth.
