Sun to push StarOffice for Apple's OS X

Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems are cooperating on a version of
Sun's StarOffice productivity software for Mac OS X, the companies said.
Sun has been looking for hardware allies in its long-running quest to
popularize StarOffice, which competes against Microsoft Office. To date,
no major PC makers have pledged to heavily promote StarOffice.
Apple also gains a friend to help counter its increasingly contentious
relationship with Microsoft, which has been struggling with sales of its
Office v. X suite for Macintosh. Microsoft expected to sell 750,000
copies of the software; since its release last November, only 300,000
copies of Mac Office have sold.
