世界上正推行省錢大作戰，鬥爭對象竟然是微軟？

繼SUN和GOOGLE合作提供StarSuite8供下載後，IBM也於9/18的新聞稿指出，也提供支援ODF和 Microsoft Office的一套辦公室桌面軟體IBM Lotus Symphony供有需要的使用者下載，同樣和StarSuite8一樣，都支援PDF檔案的輸出。

看來微軟的敵人愈來愈多，有免費的文書軟體可以使用，當然省了一些荷包裡的錢，只要努力克服介面的熟悉度就可以了。

敘述如下：

Be Free.Work Smart.

IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ is a set of applications for creating, editing, and sharing word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Designed to handle the majority of tasks that end users perform, the Lotus Symphony tools support the Open Document Format (ODF), enabling organizations to access, use, and maintain their documents over the long term without worrying about end-of-life uncertainties or ongoing software licensing and royalty fees. By using tools that support ODF, customers are not locked into one particular vendor for their productivity tools. ODF helps provide interoperability and flexibility.
