Too bad they didn't pay attention to the parts that really mattered. Trial editions are also available. An older version, Wingz 1.42 for Linux, has been released as shareware . This is a good move. It gives Wingz some extra exposure and gives Linux users access to a powerful spreadsheet at an affordable cost.
Hardcopy documentation is extra.
The user interface, although much improved between 1.42 and 2.11, is poorly organized and it isn't much to look at. If I could have the NExS user interface with the quality number crunching of Wingz I'd be in spreadsheet heaven. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation graphics among other things. At the time this article was posted, version 3.1 beta 4 was available via ftp. Like Wingz, StarOffice is taking a dual marketing path.
