He was so enthusiastic about the tech scene that he began to develop office software (later known as StarOffice (TM)). In 1986 he founded the Star Division company with headquarters in Hamburg. It was bought in 1999 for $73.5 million by Sun Microsystems. Star Office (TM) 5.1a was the first version of the software to be published by Sun. The current version 9 Star Office (TM) appeared in November 2008. The OpenOffice.org project was founded 13.10.200 by Sun to develop this leading international office suite, which runs on all major platforms and provides access to functions and data through transparent interfaces and an XML-based file format. It is based on of the source code for StarOffice (TM) 5.2 as well as technology that Sun has developed for future versions of StarOffice TM. The source code is written in C++ and provides language-neutral and scripting fun
ctionality, including Java-based APIs. These allow you to use the suite either as separate applications or embedded into other applications.

Thanks for that.
I changed it in the wiki (and wait for the other paragraphs ;-)).
