In the same directory?  One can have multiple versions of OO installed,  
but both the system and user directories must be different for each.

SO6.0 will not be free on Linux or Windows.  It will be free on Slowaris.

If you want free use Open Office..

... or Abiword, or Kword, or SOT, or Siag Office, or Pathetic Office, or 
Hanacom (?), etc....  Lots of choices these days.  I think it is a *GOOD* 
thing they will be charging for SO - 1st) They need the money and B) Alot 
of people don't trust free stuff.

SO and OO will continue to track the same code base.
