New I gotta wonder
what effect this alliance will have on Star Office and Open Office? Nobody that makes a deal with the Dev^H^H^HGat^H^H^HBallmer, does so without sacrifice, and given the circumstances, Star Office might be seen as the perfect lamb.

New I don't think Sun . . .
. . is about to give up the "Java Desktop" at a time when it's generating a lot of interest, and interest in their server products continues to decline. StarOffice is key to the Java Desktop.

Further, I don't think this so called "alliance" is so much an alliance as a heavily armed truce. The shooting should begin again soon on other fronts.
