How do you save 75% on office productivity software?

Sun Microsystems thinks the best way is to use StarOffice 8 Office Suite. It runs on Linux, Solaris and Windows, is industry standards compliant and costs around $75 bucks. I'll let you do your own research but the suite does have applications that are as good or close to that offered by Microsoft Office. The other cool addition to this version is the inclusion of the .ODT format document. It's XML based, OpenDocument 1.0 compliant, takes up almost 40% less disk space than a .DOC file and overall makes documents from StarOffice easier to share and use.

I recently set up a home office. I am amazed how much more productive I have become. I decided to purchase new office furniture including a new desk and several files. With this modular configuration I can reconfigure the office every few months. This periodic change of view helps improve my productivity and creativity.
