This week, Lenovo announced the availability of StarOffice on its new ThinkPad R51e notebook.

This offer is available only in Singapore and Lenovo has no plans to feature StarOffice worldwide. After Hewlett Packard, the company enlarged its horizons with a product running non-Microsoft software.

Lenovo is an innovative, international technology company formed as a result of the acquisition by the Lenovo Group of the IBM Personal Computing Division. Lenovo’s executive headquarters are in Purchase, New York, USA with principal operations in Beijing, China, and Raleigh, North Carolina, USA and an enterprise sales organization worldwide. The company employs more than 19,000 people worldwide.

StarOffice 8 is based on the OpenOffice.org project and is being developed by Sun Microsystems
