IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 Great - up to 25 % price increase - no significant core improvements - if you use Linux no DB/2, no Sametime, just Novell Suse (with Red Hat coming later) - no new platforms - no 64 Bit support on Intel/AMD architectures The advantage of being a zombie is that you cannot die. Long live IBM Lotus Notes. |

RE: IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 The price increase is on the SERVER only, and not even the Utility Server nor CEO/Express customers. Individual per-user costs have not changed. As for "no significant core improvements" -- I'm sure those who wrote the Domino Domain Monitor, Web Services, NSFDB2, view index in background, and any of the hundreds of other features would disagree with you. And 64 bit? While we have a lot of "tire kicker" interest in this, who really needs it in production, today? |

RE: IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 I never said that everyone should agree with me but I remain disappointed and not even refurbished Tivoli stuff or the new click and wait view index feature will change that. And 64 Bit is a plus if you want to address more than 4 GB of RAM in an elegant way (on Windows, for Domino there seems to be even a 2 GB barrier). |
