Google Pack Adds StarOffice from Google Operating System reports Google has added StarOffice, Sun’s office suite, to the Google Pack.

StarOffice has a word processor, a spreadsheet tool, presentations tool, databases, math formulas and drawing tools. Typically, Sun charges $69.95 but it is free with the Google Pack. It is worth noting that Google and Sun formed this technology partnership about a year ago.

The rational behind that question is that the “primary difference between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org being that StarOffice includes some proprietary components like clip-art graphics, fonts, templates and tools for Microsoft Office migration.”
