A: StarOffice 8 software is a commercial product built on OpenOffice.org's open source code to provide the best value, multi-platform Microsoft compatible office suite aimed at organizations and consumers. OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the leading open-source project aimed at users of free software, independent developers and the open source community. StarOffice includes licensed-in, third-party technology such as: * Spellchecker and thesaurus * Mail Merge Wizard does not have the ability to send mail merge documents as emails. * Select fonts including Windows metrically equivalent fonts and Asian language fonts * Select filters, including Asian word processor filters * Integration of additional templates and extensive clipart gallery * Migration Tools and Macro Migration Wizard. The converted macros does not run in OpenOffice.org * Sun Java System Configuration Manager for Solaris, Linux and Windows In addition to product differences, StarOffice offers: o Updates/upgrades on CD o Sun installation and user documentation o 24x7 Web based support for enterprises and consumers o Help desk support o Warranties and indemnification guarantee Training o Professional services for migration and deployment For a detailed comparison, please see. For more information on components and services available for the OpenOffice.org product, visit the OpenOffice.org Web site. 14. Q: Do StarOffice and OpenOffice.org share the same code base? What is the development process? A: Yes. Contributions and enhancements to this code base are committed through the worldwide OpenOffice.org developer community as well as through Sun's development engineers. At regular intervals, Sun takes a 'snapshot' of this code to productize StarOffice. Additional third party technologies are then added to the StarOffice product to offer a complete solution to meet the requirements of professionals in today's enterprise environment. Community-provided contributions which match with Sun's product strategy for future StarOffice releases are incorporated and become a Sun supported product feature such as the Flash Export feature for Impress and Draw.
