IBM Lotus Symphony is free Office productivity suite based on OpenOffice.org and supports the ODF file formats. It includes a Word Processor, Spreadsheet and a Presentation program much like Google Docs or a starter edition of Microsoft Office – see screenshots.
Symphony software is available as a free download for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X systems but if you are using a slow internet connection, you can ask IBM to send you the Lotus Symphony installer CD for free.
Just fill in this request form and an IBM Lotus Symphony CD will delivered to your place free of cost. Valid in India only.
The following video will give you a good idea about the capabilities of Lotus Symphony suite. IBM is giving this for free and hopes to generate revenue through support.

You said that it is based on Open office. Is it different from open Office, and if so what are the major differences?
