Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the victory-is-within-our-grasp dept.

An anonymous reader writes, "CNET writes about Sun and Apple getting together to create StarOffice for the Mac OS X." Apparently, the Java-based OpenOffice app will be released before year's end (a developer release went out on Thursday), with a commercial StarOffice release sometime next year.

    Cheers.

    but do you think Walmart wouldn't love shipping Wintel platforms with OS X and saving the Windows OS fee?

    In exchange for the Mac OS X fee? Why?

    Dude, quit hogging the Kool-Aid.
