I'm positive it wasn't Staroffice. I know that story ... painfully ... well.
It might not have been MS office, but MSIE or a specific application. I'm finding researching this online disappointingly fruitless, though I've got inquiries in a few spots.
I think MSIE and the Windows Media player appeared for Solaris for a really short while at least. Outlook Express too, it seems.
Are you sure you're not thinking of StarOffice, which became OpenOffice.org which begat LibreOffice. That was Sun's answer to MS Office, supposedly started by realising it was cheaper to buy a company that made an office suite and develop it in-house than it was to pay MS for their suite.
