OpenOffice is a free productivity suite compatible with all major
office suits. It began life as StarOffice from the German company
StarDivision. Sun Microsystems purchased it in 19XXXX and made it open
source, as well as selling it with additional services and product as
StarOffice. A major selling point about OpenOffice is the commitment
to open document formats and interchange. The developers have put much
effort into the open XML format which ensures the long term
accessibility to the documents stored in this format and facilitates
easy transfer of the data to other systems.
