Sun Joins Mac Open Office Development

Posted by kdawson on from the bye-bye-X11 dept.

widhalmt writes "In a blog post, a developer at Sun Microsystems announces that Sun will help with porting Open Office to Mac OS X. The open source office suite is well known on Linux and Windows, but does not have a native version on Mac OS. For a long time Sun did not want to join the development of that port but now they will actively push it."

    I've been using it for years. So have I. Hopefully it will have fully started up by the end of next month. Then I can get some word processing done. I need to allow another six months before the spreadsheet module will open, I think.
