That doesn't make sense.
Isn't Star Office a retail, as in pay money for, office suite? Why would a laptop maker include it, and an outdated version at that, instead of Open Office? Good point Dana, check out the included applications before you buy. My assumption would be that for the Linux laptop all the usual suspects would be included.
