“Today I thought I would show everyone just how easy it
is to install and use Microsoft Office 2007 on OpenSolaris 2009.06
and 2010.03 with Bordeaux for Solaris. I have installed Office 2007
on both OpenSolaris 2009.06 and 2010.03 build 134 the screenshots
below are from 2009.06 running in Virtual Box.

“The first thing you will need to do is make sure you have all
the needed software dependencies resolved on OpenSolaris. Here is
the list of needed packages from the Bordeaux OpenSolaris 2.0.2
readme.

“Bordeaux bundles Wine 1.1.36 and uses many third party
libraries that can be found in the OpenSolaris repository and the
Contrib repository. Information on how to add the Contrib
repository can be found here :
