I'd probably look for a new job if it ever came from above that we were moving to Exchange or any of their other solutions. We are a heavy Notes shop with our payroll, finances, hr, work flow, sales reporting, expenses, time reporting, help desk tickets, discussion db's, etc. all tied into one product: Domino.
I guess my main beef lately has been how slow things have been for our remote users, which wasn't the case with R7. Just one example, and it drives me bonkers every day when I'm sitting at home, about 6 miles from where my "home" mail server is sitting...to open my mail file takes well over 40 seconds each time. If I get a new email and it needs to refresh the index? Well, that can take another 20-40 seconds...I'm on a 64 bit, 8GB laptop, hitting a server with 4GB and core two duo 3.2GHz Intel processors, with a T1 in the office and cable modem, no wireless from my house. Now I would expect it to be slower from my house, but not to such dramatic effect. It's worse for or remote clients...of which most of our company is remote, we do a lot of consulting for other clients, etc. So the frustration level is growing.
I'm tempted to upgrade our server to 64 bit, more memory, etc., but that's not cheap and it wasn't a concern when we were running 7. We're also implementing an MPLS circuit at the corporate office, our remote offices and our data centers, so maybe that will help, too, but really the slowness is horrible.
