Microsoft's Office got a serious competitor now - IBM is to offer the world a FREE word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation program! Forget about expiring licenses and upgrading fees, the world's most used software (I think) becomes free!

"There are three core applications that make up the Lotus Symphony tools: Lotus Symphony Documents, Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets and Lotus Symphony Presentations. These software tools are intuitive to use, support Windows and Linux desktops and are designed to handle the majority of office productivity tasks that workers typically perform. Lotus Symphony supports multiple file formats including Microsoft Office and Open Document Format (ODF), and also can output content in PDF format."

Sounds like a bad day for Microsoft, I'm curious to see what they are going to do now.
