Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X

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.

If you are so worried about CPU cycles, then only use programs written using an assembler instead of a compiler. There are a lot of those programs out there today... right? :-)

Dude, quit hogging the Kool-Aid.
