Yes, thank you.
I'm looking forward to seeing builds by Sun engineers.

Its dissappointing that Sun has chosen to not explain why the Solaris
x86 platform was taken off the StarOffice release train nor why the customer
community was unable to correct that mistake via established channels.
Its frustrating that the StarOffice 7 product pages don't hint
of a future update including the Solaris x86 platform or which
quarter that update might ship.

Great to read.
I think Sun's chosen a great set of applications to make up its
desktop suite.
Please don't continue to shortchange our community's preferred
Sun developer desktop platform.
