For those of you interested in an alternative to OpenOffice, you
might take a look at IBM's latest offering.

symphony _IS_ openoffice.

Ummmmmmm..... No.

Ummmmmmm..... Yes.

Ummmmmm.... No, again.

Did you even bother to read the links you posted?

You clearly are confusing "Open Document Format" with OpenOffice.org.
Also, IBM joined the OO.org organization, and "uses the OO.org technology
in their products". There are other members of the OO.org organization
too. The OO.org office suite is owned by Sun Microsystems, which is not
part of IBM, or vice versa.

Bottom line is that Symphony and OpenOffice are *NOT* the same product.
It's really that simple.
