Doesn't Sun call their version Star Office?

Also, OpenOffice.org (OOo, for short) is excellent (in my not so hunble
opinion) and it also offers a decent level (say, 90+%) of M$ Office

user.

P.S. Open Office is something else entirely, and there are copyright
issues involved with calling OOo just "Open Office".
