Last week, IBM unveiled the first version of their OpenOffice.org offshoot, Lotus Symphony. Symphony is aimed at professional users in a corporate environment, but brings to OpenOffice.org many UI enhancements in an attractive, single tabbed interface. Symphony 1.0 runs on Windows and Linux; while the site used to suggest a Mac version was forthcoming, there is currently no reference to a Mac native version of Symphony. The Lotus Symphony website has been updated to reflect the recent release, however, downloads are very slow at the moment "due to high demand."

considering the fact that a significant portion of the codebase is fairly ancient OpenOffice, i am dubious of the quality of this suite. (and considering the download server is crawling, who knows when i'll find out) in particular, i'm concerned with non-ODF file format usage. so far, my boss has been unwilling to let me switch my users over to OpenOffice because of *bad* bullet support when converting MS Office documents. problems abound with his precious powerpoint presentations, especially.
anyway, i guess i'm crossing my fingers on this. i'm dying to get my office off of MS Office.
