Re: Notes applications to Domino - ie: client to web

Sorry to hear you seem to be "exchanging" Domino...

We get those rumblings from time to time here, but we generally get 
through them with some tweaks here and there.

Ask for a product roadmap for the server to which you will be switching. 
M$ doesn't update their product too often. Since 2002 we've had ND6, 
ND6.5, and soon ND7 with talks of ND8 and 9. Since 2002 M$ has had 
Exchange 2003 and will release something in 2006.

Have you spoken with Ed Brill about this move? He's a Lotus employee who 
works with companies to stay on Lotus products.
