Where - Exchange / Sharpoint / ASP.net
Why - they feel that Domino will merge into Websphere, and the true Domino Lane will be dropped.
What I think that IBM do not really grasp, is that many companies hold onto Domino, due to its application development capabilities. Once these are played down in favour of Websphere then they will not keep Domino for mail alone.
Many small companies use Domino for mail/applications/web, basically everything. The move to Websphere would be a massive one for them.
