Symphony (Beta):
DO NOT INSTALL IBM Lotus Symphony (Beta) !!!
I tried it out. It took over all of my OpenDoc file associations, without
warning, and installed itself into a handful of other file associations. IT
HAS NO UNINSTALLER, SO THESE CHANGES CANNOT BE EASILY REVERSED!
Basically, it made a mess out of my registry. Its taking me about an hour
to fix it.
WARNING: INSTALL IBM Lotus Symphony (Beta) AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
This article about installing it on Ubuntu says there is an
uninstaller.

Surely the Windows version has an uninstaller too, even if for
some reason it doesn't show up in Windows' Add/Remove Programs list.
If it takes over file associations without asking first, I agree
that is not nice behaviour.
I haven't tried installing it myself on any platform.
