This one is interesting. I don't think we would ever seriously
consider going down the same route as StarOffice, since we like the
"small is beautiful" approach too. However, their design seems to be
something that people either love or hate. We've had people tell us
that we should mimic that approach, putting six or seven apps in one
program.
