Looks to me like OpenOffice is maybe a MORE desirable product that the
original StarOffice ??
Breaking it down into individual units could be better, XML is better,
and the "componentization" might lead to inter-operability with
different spreadsheet/graphic modules.
Only the loss of "certain file filters" might be bad.
