IBM’s new Lotus Symphony office suite is now available as a public beta. It can do much of what an expensive Standard edition of Microsoft Office does, only at a much better price: It’s FREE.

The suite is consist of three applications — a word processor (Lotus Symphony Documents), a spreadsheet (Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets), and a presentation creator (Lotus Symphony Presentations). Symphony supports both Windows (XP, Vista, 2000) and Linux operating systems. Each application can open and save in a variety of file formats, including Office (2003/XP/97; not 2007) and ODF (Open Document Format), as well as save files as PDFs.

Now, if you wonder how it matches with Microsoft’s Office and another free productivity application like Open Office, head over to the link below.
