IBM has launched, Lotus Symphony, a free Microsoft Office competitor

September 18, 2007 at 9:41 am · Filed under Technology

TechCrunch reports that IBM has announced the launch of a free Microsoft Office competitor, Lotus Symphony, which like Sun Star Office is based on the Open Office code base.

The new IBM Lotus Symphony is expected to include word processing, spreadsheets and presentations and will be available for download from this IBM Website.

Lotus Symphony is the same name the old (pre-IBM-ownership) Lotus Corp. used for its 1980’s Lotus suite product that never really took off—better luck this time around, IBM.
