IBM LOTUS SYMPHONY !

IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ is a richly-featured set of productivity tools that are intuitive and easy to use and provided at no charge. There are three applications that make up Lotus Symphony: Lotus Symphony Documents, Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets, Lotus Symphony Presentations.

Lotus Symphony puts you in charge – take control over spiraling upgrade costs, ensure access to documents well into the future with new standard file formats (ODF), get more from your current investments with support for Microsoft Windows and Office file types.

Users can enjoy the easy-to-use interface and online community for templates, tips and support.

Businesses can control software acquisition and upgrade costs, provide ability to compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats, protect future access to documents with support for ODF and support a global workforce with Lotus Symphony's native language support for over 23 languages.

Developers can extend their applications with the power of Lotus Symphony through support for plug-ins and, when the Lotus Symphony editors inside Lotus Notes are used, rich composite applications.

Lotus Notes users can create, edit, and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with the integrated version of Lotus Symphony which is built into the Lotus Notes client user interface.

=================================================================================

Well, above is the official, informative info about Symphony. From my point of view, instead of Powerpoint, Excel, and Word form Microsoft, IBM's Symphony has IBM LOTUS SYMPHONY Presentations, Spreadsheets, and Documents and the price for it is down to the floor ( ITS FREE ) instead of Microsoft's hefty price that not everyone can afford. Basically, its almost the same stuff for different prices with different names..=D
