Sun to Offer Support for OpenOffice.org

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pay-to-play dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NewsForge.com [ed. note: Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN] is reporting that Sun announced today they will offer both free and for-pay support for OpenOffice.org. The story says the cost will be about the same as that it is charging for StarOffice, the proprietary cousin of OO.org."

    Sun Microsystems took a couple of big steps forward to benefit the open source community Wednesday by announcing full-service support [...] for OpenOffice.org software and a free, trial-preview version of the its latest developers' package, now dubbed Java Studio Creator.

    ...so that you can compare them. Or am I being overly cynical?
