Sun Microsystems offering support for OpenOffice

Sun Microsystems has now announced that they would offer support for the OpenOffice.org productivity software suite.

The company said that they are impressed by the adoption of this open source office suite and they want to help out the project by offering support.

Support would cost starting at US$20 per user per year. This service is aimed at companies that distribute OpenOffice.org.

A company representative added: “For a lot of distributors, they wanted to distribute OpenOffice.org and had no option for back-line support.”

Sun has their own version of OpenOffice named StarOffice which they already provide with support services.

The company also released the StarOffice 8 Server in the recent times. This server has been designed to work as a conversion engine that changes 40 document types into PDF files.
