Bruce and Julian had the opportunity to talk to Ed Brill (Worldwide Sales Manager for Lotus Notes/Domino) and Dwight Morse (Lotus Notes Product Manager) about changes and new features in the recent Notes 8.0.2 release. We also got to discuss a few "future directions" sort of things. Talking points included:
  • Do we have any numbers yet on how many companies have upgraded to Notes 8 so far? How about customer references?
  • Is Lotus comfortable with the 8.0.2 startup speed and smaller memory footprint, or will it continue to improve?
  • What's the big deal about the new INI parameter that controls whether the client opens in Basic or Standard mode?
  • Are the Symphony editors in the Notes 8 Standard client simply "nice to have", or is IBM aggressively pushing the Symphony product?
  • Is there better integration coming between Notes and Connections, especially as it relates to Activities?
  • Can we confirm or deny William Shatner as the opening session speaker at Lotusphere?
And certainly, much much more. Also be sure to check out Dwight Morse speaking about Notes 8 on the Ziff Davis Innovations podcast.
