Another Free Office Suite of Products

I  haven't looked at this new free office suite called IBM Lotus  Symphony;  but it looks like it could be pretty good.  It appears to be  an open  suite of products (very universal) and they claim:

    "With  Lotus Symphony, you can import, edit and save a  variety of file formats  including Microsoft Office files. You can even  export your documents to  Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF). The  tools work with computers  running both Microsoft Windows and Linux-  environments, with support for  Apple Macintosh planned for the future."

The suite consists of three products:

   1. Lotus Symphony Documents (replacement for Word)
   2. Lotus Symphony Presentations (replacement for PowerPoint)
   3. Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets (replacement for Excel)

As  a former Lotus 1-2-3 user, I'm very interested in these and will have  to check them out the first opportunity I get.  If anyone has tried  them, please comment!
