OK, but from 'Big Business' & Government standpoints the IBM name still seems to carry quite a bit of weight.

Lotus has a negative connotation from the I.T. industry for quite some time. It may not take off with a name like that :-)

I just notices IBM has released a product called Lotus Symphony 3. It is a free office suite & is available for Windows, Mac, & Linux. It is based on OpenOffice (what else?).

I wonder what this will do for OpenOffice?

It was IBM's release of the PC-XT that made the PC market take off. Be interesting to see what IBM's backing for an office suite does for it.
