Of course they do - there is even a port for Mac OSX in the works (very close to being
done, I understand).
The differences are minor. StarOffice has the spellchecker already installed/enabled,
it comes bundled/pre-configured with/for the Adabas database, and has more fonts.
Thats about it. The current (just expired (beta) of StarOffice 6.0 was based on OOo
(OpenOffice.org) 638C, but the current OOo version is 641D.
Personally, I will be using OOo - the price is better, zero licensing issues, and with
only a little more work setting up the spellchecker (piece of cake), a database (again
...) and winbloze fonts, its as good as StarOffice, imho.
