I believe that basic Office type tools are bound to become freeware, with support for all the important standards.

More importantly, I believe that the tools are becoming components that can be re-assembled with other components to create powerful new composite applications. IBM has already released Lotus Symphony as freeware - with spreadsheet, word processor, and presentation software supporting MS formats, ODF, and PDF output. These are the same components that are supplied as eclipse plug-ins for the Lotus Notes V8 client. I think that this component strategy will enable much more powerful use of office tools within the context of end user applications instead of launching Word or PPT or Excell as a separate application and somehow managing the association of that document to a business application - Get it for free at symphony.lotus.com/sof...
