Story: Scottish schools get help with StarOffice

StarOffice does have some functionalities OpenOffice doesn't have, but more importantly: It has Sun.

The contract no doubt includes installation and support.
For companies (and even more so governments) it is always important to have a single point where they can vent complaints and get support.

And although StarOffice isn't free, it isn't particularly expensive either (especially for educational institutions), so I can imagine that it already compounds a huge saving over MS Office while still getting services and support, something they wouldn't have if they would've chosen OpenOffice.
