No, again. Did you even bother to read the links you posted? You clearly are confusing "Open Document Format" with OpenOffice.org. Also, IBM joined the OO.org organization, and "uses the OO.org technology in their products". There are other members of the OO.org organization too. The OO.org office suite is owned by Sun Microsystems, which is not part of IBM, or vice versa. Bottom line is that Symphony and OpenOffice are *NOT* the same product. It's really that simple. <SPANK> -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he garotted another passing Liberal.
