Ed Brill - Macworld: "Why are you here?"
"So why is IBM, and more specifically the Lotus brand team, at Macworld Expo (booth 3418 north hall, for those who want to stop by)? If you have been following my blog for the three months since I've moved to product management, you've heard me mention Apple more than a few times. Quite simply, Apple is seeing a market opportunity to further penetrate the enterprise, and they see IBM as a key vendor to help with that."

"Most businesses and academic institutions that have upgraded to Office 2007 seem to have set up the software to save to the older version by default, not the newer format. This isn't just backwards compatibility -- it's also smart, since if files are being shared off-site, then the files have to be accessible for those who haven't upgraded yet. Considering that, applications like Lotus Symphony seem to have no problems fitting in. User license fee costs are slashed to zero, and while the suite is not as robust or powerful as MS Office is, it has enough features to fit the needs of an average office, student, and basic users."
