That's a start, I hadn't seen those before (does that give you a hint to my reply!)
Yep, that's a start, but it still has that typical dumb IBM vagueness about it. People will spend more time trying to see if the one guy still has his red cup and the other guy his doughnut, and won't understand what the text is really trying to say about Domino.
You know what I think would be a great, very simple, advertisement? Just a simple table with a with two "vendors" (MS and Lotus Domino) at the top, and a list of features on the side. The side options would say "Enterprise Database", "Web Server", "Instant Messaging", "Application Server", "Email" to name a few. The entry in the columns for Microsoft would say "Yes, via..." and the name of their product that handles it. The Lotus Domino entries would just say "Yes". I doubt anyone would have trouble understanding that add. No doughnuts, no red cups, no under-water shots, just a list that is an "Us Vs. Them" comparison.
The real proof will be if we start to see the dumb reviewers at eWeek, Computerworld, InfoWorld, etc. actually reviewing the next release of Notes in a way that is NOT just a comparison to Outlook but instead in comparison to every Microsoft product. Then again, it is our responsibility as well to dive all over those reviewers and tell them how dumb they are for only reviewing 10% of a product.
