Life As It Comes

IBM has released Lotus Symphony for free to the masses today. This is huge news in the office suite front. Lotus Symphony will compete directly with Microsoft Office (since it is enterprise-quality). Office lost a huge battle last week when Microsoft’s efforts to fast-track OOXML were voted down at ISO, and this, coupled with today’s launch of Google Presentations, is like a 1-2 punch.
Hooray for openness, innovation, and moving away from Microsoft’s propriety lock-down in yet another arena!
