As long as Office Starter has the same or more functionality than the latest Works Suite (9.5 IIRC) then I think it's a good strategy; especially since you can simply unlock a full Office by simply buying a PKC.
Of course it would be ideal if Office Sarter can also read (and preferrably save as well) in Works formats for backwards compatibility.
I don't like the marketing strategy of providing a discount to OEMs for installing all the Windows Live Crapware.
I'll be waiting for more documentation re: Office Starter 2010 in order to see exactly the features.
