Adobe may look to the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) platform to launch an office productivity suite to take on Microsoft.
The OpenOffice.org community released version 2.2 last week, including updates to OpenOffice's word processor, spreadsheet, presentations and database software.
All processes around the sale, manufacturing, distribution and basic support of the new version of Sun Microsystems' office suite will be outsourced in Australia to a yet-to-be-appointed local software publisher.
The OpenOffice.org office suite has come a long way since its inception--so much so that it's now a viable alternative to Microsoft Office. See how this open source application fares against the Goliath Microsoft Office suite.
Sun Microsystems has launched a grenade at Microsoft and it's called StarOffice.

It's been just over 12 months since Peter Nikoletatos moved west to take over the role of CIO at Perth's Curtin University of Technology. Since then, he's been working to manage the inevitable complexities of university IT while making sure he has enough time to keep his head in the clouds.

Sun Microsystems plans to release the second version of its Java Desktop System, the server maker's version of Linux for desktop computers.

StarOffice 6.0 is relatively inexpensive, but it's unlikely to win over existing users of Microsoft's Office products.
The two companies are cooperating on a version of Sun's StarOffice productivity software for Mac OS X. The plan has one rival in mind: Microsoft Office.
OpenOffice.org developers have put the finishing touches on their productivity suite, which provides users and businesses with an alternative to Microsoft's Office suite.
OpenOffice.org, the open-source office suite project, has reached a milestone in porting the software to Mac OS X with an early release for Mac developers.
