I've been a notes admin and designer since 1995 and one of it's biggest supporters in numerous buy-outs, mergers, acquisitions and the inevitable "why don't we just move to exchange" discussions. But I really have to tell you that I think IBM has blown it. They had the market and then just stopped marketing Notes. Why? Every corporate hot button at the time IBM thumbed their noses and decided not to promote Notes, was based around email and collaboration. How did they miss that?
My biggest complaint with R8 and 8.5 is the times it takes waiting for simple tasks to complete. Like opening a mail file for the first time. It's like watching paint dry...I know there are other factors involved in all this, but when I have the required hardware specs and the end use does as well, try telling that to your CEO, or CIO, or even a sales rep.
And the designer for 8.5...is that seriously something IBM plans to roll out for production. Every time I click on a db to open in designer it needs to compile script? You need to double click anything in the left hand side navigation pane? And please tell me why the agent for out office is scheduled and not defaulted to when new mail arrives? I'm curious as to the reasoning behind that.
Also, can you please tell me why I cannot log into our Sametime server using the 8.5 client?
IBM...you are dropping the ball. Or have already dropped it. You could have stepped on Microsoft's trachea, but you sat by and did nothing. This was your market to win and to win going away...You've disappointed some of your most loyal customers and that's what hurts the most.
