I do not think there would be a problem with OOo & LO working together
in co-operation, its the getting into bed with IBM that could.
As they say "if you fail to learn from history ....."
Ask Bill Gates, ask Lotus users after IBM took over - it does look good
at first, but in the long run.....

Why don't all the OOo devs just come to TDF? I mean isn't this further
splitting up the community? What I want to see is a single powerful office
suite to kill Microsoft. I want to see them buried. I want to see a free,
open product that is perfect in it's seamlessness, transparency and ease of
use. I hope LO is the one to do it. We need to kick some ass!

Hi
As a disgruntled Lotus Smart Suite user, abandoned by IBM as are the Lotus
Amipro users, I am well aware of the link between Symphony& OOo, as one
reduced its support for LSS, so did the other one. In fact IBM have now
turned its back permanently on LSS and not so surprisingly in Windows so has
OOo; with still thousands and thousands of requests (pleads) for IBM not to
do so (there is one request for compatibility - requested some 15,000
times). Whilst at the same time, LO increases its support - all praise to LO
I understand from reading the on-line guessing politics that IBM will at
some point bring out a Paid for version, to link into Lotus Notes, so is
this the "Price" OOo have had to pay to get IBM's blue interface:- the
"cost" of not being LSS compatible - Hold this space!
Beside, IBM's Symphony hardly stood as an "office suit" with only 3
programs - and it was far to buggy for me.
I am very happy for LO to stay on course.

Is it time for the LO-developers to get back with OpenOffice too ?
In a word, no.
