The launch comes just after the launch of the commercial product StarOffice 8, built by the mother company Sun Microsystems. OpenOffice's roots lie in Sun's $73.5 million acquisition in 1999 of Star Division, a German company that built an office suite called StarOffice. Sun kept the StarOffice product line, but in 2000 also released it as the open-source OpenOffice.org project.

Does anyone use Open Office? Or even tried it? It's definitly a good alternative to the Microsoft suite which is very expensive!
