OpenOffice.org (redirected from .sxw)

An open source suite of business applications from OpenOffice.org that runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and various Unix versions. Founded by Sun which is its main supporter, OpenOffice.org is a lighter edition of Sun's StarOffice. Compatible with Microsoft Office files, OpenOffice includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation graphics and drawing program and provides access to popular databases. In 2000, Sun turned over the source code of StarOffice to the OpenOffice.org community, which is made up of thousands of developers.

.Org Is the Product Name
OpenOffice was the original product name, but because it was trademarked by Sun, OpenOffice without the .org cannot be used by the OpenOffice.org community. For more information, visit www.openoffice.org. See StarOffice.
