Google has again updated its free software offerings. If you download the Google Pack, you can also download a copy of StarOffice. The office suite sells for $70 on Sun Microsystems’ site.
StarOffice includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program and database. Does all of this sound familiar? It is much like Microsoft Office. In fact, the program is compatible with Office documents.
Download the Google pack and you get it free! StarOffice shares code with the open source OpenOffice.org. But there are improvements to StarOffice. For example, there is a clip art gallery. There are also new templates and a new spell checker and thesaurus.
Google Pack - This one download has it all. It includes Google Earth - 3D Earth browser, Google Desktop - Desktop companion, Picasa - Photo organizer, Google Toolbar - Search toolbar, and Google Pack Screensaver - Photo screensaver. It also includes StarOffice, an office suite that contains a word processor, spreadsheet and a presentation program.
Go here to download:
