John
we are doing the best we can under the tight budget constraints. i
know everyone wants more faster, and we sometimes expect heroics out of
our engineers. we are planning StarOffice 7 for Solaris x86. Just
keep in mind that that is a retail product and has some different
features. sun built the openoffice.org version for now so folks like
you can use the latest version. productization into a retail version
will take longer and as soon as the product team gives a date, you will
know.
my team has a lot of deliverables on the plate and are working as hard
as possible. we haven't gotten any added resources to work on more
releases or products, so please be mindful when criticizing us. we are
doing our best and frankly I'd rather get the rest of Sun also to help
us more.
thanks for your comments. I do take them seriously. let's try to stay
in dialog. we are moving to have a common release cycle with the
Solaris teams which will ease the release cycles for all of us.
best regards,
curtis
