However, it looks like it would be difficult (if not impossible) to get a 
private copy outside of school.

- From the article:

	Educational customers will get the software for free, said Frank Bell,
	marketing director for Sun Netherlands. If the customers want many CD-ROMs,
	those can be provided at cost, he said.
	...
	StarOffice retails for $75.95 per copy and each copy can be used on up to
	five PCs. Microsoft Office XP Standard is listed at $479, and each copy can
	be used on only one PC. A boxed version of Office XP Standard for students
	and teachers is listed at $149. Microsoft does offer special pricing for
	schools.

"The graphics were great on all of [the video game systems], and they all had 
some killer games.  Plus, they all looked cool.  Except the Xbox, which 
looked like a clunky steaming load." - Jim Anchower, The Onion
