November 17, 2008 (Computerworld) A month after OpenOffice.org released its first-ever free application suite written for Mac OS X, Sun Microsystems Inc. today unveiled a native Mac edition of StarOffice, the commercial version of the bundle.

StarOffice 9, which Sun officially unveiled today, shares code with OpenOffice.org 3.0, the free suite that launched in mid-October to strong demand; the OpenOffice.org servers were knocked offline for several hours the first day. According to an official with OpenOffice.org, users downloaded 3 million copies of the suite the first week it was available.

Great news, another office suite has to be good news for the Apple platform and bring more choice to Apple users. I’ll need to check it out, I didn’t know that OpenOffice was out for the Mac!
