According to the German computer news service heise newsticker Sun
presented StarOffice 5.2 for Windows, Linux and Solaris at the CeBit
in Hannover. According to Sun there will be a version for MacOS soon,
but there won't be an OS/2 version. Sun will produce patches for the
existing version 5.1 for the next 3 years if necessary. Former
StarDivision leader Marco Boerries said that this step was done due
to the decresing importance of OS/2 among both business and SOHO
users and because of the low download numbers of StarOffice 5.1 for
OS/2 from Sun's servers.
