As part of the long-term planning for StarOffice, Sun has assessed platform demand, momentum in the marketplace, the cost of porting to those platforms, as well as the business case for adding or dropping platforms. Based on this analysis, Sun will no longer release future versions of the StarOffice Suite on OS/2. Version 5.1a will be the last version of StarOffice on OS/2. Sun will provide a range of support and transition assistance to OS/2 customers. StarOffice software will continue to be available on the Solaris operating environment, Linux and Windows 2000/98/95/NT. Sincerely, Amanda Carter Sun Customer Service Specialist *** ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
