Tired of Feeding the Machine?

Check out the new new video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ZhPI1eic4

We hope you enjoyed the video. While it is all in good fun, let's not lose the sight of a really important point.... whether your IT budget is multi-millions of dollars or your own personal bank account, you have better things to be doing with your money. Many companies and individuals are paying large amounts of money for basic office productivity capabilities like word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.

For many organizations, only a fraction of the employees or members actually use advanced features of Microsoft Office. For other users, IBM Lotus Symphony offers you a choice--one that supports ODF and Microsoft Office document formats, protects future access to documents and lets you stop feeding the machine. Because, surely, there is something better you can be doing with your IT budget?

    I strongly encourage IBM to demonstrate their committment to free software by producing free versions of Notes and Domino. Without this Symphony just seems like a shallow marketing ploy attempting to limit Microsoft's market share.

    I Agree With JL, Free Versions of Notes/Domino/Sametime/SmartSuite will hopefully make lotus number 1.

    we are up to V 8 with notes/domino why not make either 7 or 6 free

    IBM needs to resurrect the OS/2 Warp legacy by supporting the React OS project. Its aims are to develop a completely Windows compatible OS that is entirely open source.

    IBM has been around since before Mr. Gates was born; I think they shouldn't give up this fight.
