    I like Lotus Symphony and I understand the concept that these three videos are trying to get out... but that acting was really cheesy. I almost wish that I didn't take my time to watch all three of those videos because I don't want to think any less of the product because of such cheesy acting. So I will just pretend that I didn't watch them at all.

    Make some better ones !

    There's a sense in which the advertising budget for a product needs to be related to the expected revenue from the product; and Symphony is free. So the budget for big-name actors and actresses, rehearsals, post-production, etc. is quite limited. Not zero, but limited.

    I expect the advertising budget for IBM Lotus Notes (which includes Symphony, much as a cellphone contract includes a handset) is larger.

    But it looks as if Symphony is here to stay. Come what may, the cat will not go back into the bag.

    Be free. Work Smart.

    Symphony.......The second I even brought up the topic I heard rumors of employees leaving........If I want to segment my population I've now got to tell my low end employee's they aren't worth a license....cripes.....and it runs dog slow. I expect better from IBM...and quite using the "free" excuse. If you're leveraging Symphony to reduce Microsoft's deploy base it better be a product well worth it.

    Hmmm i think beside OpenOffice.org this is another great productivity suite. Its good that IBM made it free of charge - however only one thing that might be bothering is too complicated registration. Users would prefer much more if the Symphony Download would be truly "one click away" :)
