StarOffice was not from MS.  It was originally written for CP/M on the
Z80, by a guy who started StarDivision.  I first came across it on
OS/2.  StarDivision was bought by Sun, who kept StarOffice as the
commercial version of the open source OpenOffice.  LibreOffice was
created from OpenOffice, when Oracle, after buying Sun, couldn't decide
what to do with StarOffice and OpenOffice.
