Anyone tried Lotus Symphony 1.3 ?
I saw it on youtube yesterday, and I just had to download it.
It is a smaller version of Lotus Smartsuit that works on Windows, LInux and Mac.
It is a weird application, but it has a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation program.
I own iWork 09 , but if my budget was tight, this would be a perfect package !
Try it out at IBM, the process of getting it is a bit long and stupid, but it will be worth it.

No, and I'm not about to as I have OSX' combo of Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iChat that neither M$ Office, nor OpenOffice, nor Symphony can hold a candle to.
The End of M$ Office' Hegemony
It's frequent that we hear of a country or city or company switching from Windows to Linux but it's rare that we hear of one third of a million employees being told to use Lotus Symphony (IBM's OO.o variant) over MS Office and also to use the Open Document Format when saving files. The change has been mandated to take place in the next 10 days.
Of course IBM is doing this to illustrate that they actually offer a full fledged alternative to Microsoft. With i4i stirring stuff up against MS Office and absolving OO.o from litigation, are we on the verge of a potential break from Microsoft's dominant document suite? Hopefully IBM supports OO.o past Sun's acquisition by Oracle instead of concentrating on Lotus Symphony.
