DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MS OFFICE AND OPEN OFFICE
 ABOUT MS OFFICE
• Microsoft Office is a suite of different applications, servers and services that was
developed by Microsoft Company for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems
in1989. Microsoft Office is wholly owned by the Microsoft Corporation and is
developed, tested, marketed and sold by the company. Though initially, MS Office
only comprised Word, Excel and PowerPoint, it now offers various different
applications and programs such as Outlook/Entourage, Access, InfoPath,
OneNote, Project, Publisher, SharePoint Workspace (formerly known as Groove),
Visio, Office Inter Connect and Office Picture Manager.
 ABOUT OPEN OFFICE
• OpenOffice is open-source, free software that is available to everyone on the
market. Open Office, previously named as Star Office, was originally developed
as proprietary software, similar to MS Office, by Star Division. In 1999, Star
Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems and in 2000 Sun announced that it
was making the source code of Star Office available for free download to build an
open-source development community for the software and as a free and open
alternative to MS Office. It was renamed as OpenOffice.org. Sun Microsystems
was acquired by Oracle in 2010, who continued developing the software and it is
now sold under the name Apache OpenOffice.
