And now a retrograde point of view...
One of our parent companies is in the process of migrating from Notes to
exchange. After evaluating the pros and cons our company has recommitted
ourselves to staying on Notes. I am far from being knowledgeable on their
decision process but they are big into Microsoft products. Standardization
may have been a factor. They do still have a number of iSeries
applications. They definately have more users than we do. I used to think
that Notes was more robust even though it lacked some of the
user-friendliness of a typical Windows application. Has Exchange been
gaining ground? Does Domino need a "make over"? ...better PR? ...some
new "cool" features? Is Microsoft destined to be dominant due to name
recognition and Windows/Office integration?

I guess that it depends on who you know. A former employer converted from
MS Mail to Domino (on AS/400) in 1999. (5000 users, very happy with the
results.) My current company uses Exchange for email, but has had a Domino
server running a DB application for many years. We are currently migrating
our Domino application to the iSeries and once done will evaluate moving
email to Domino rather than upgrading Exchange.

I have never seen Domino installed at any location
other than IBM's.
It pretty widely accepted that IBM took a major bath
on the Lotus purchase. It's hard to make money on a
product that given away for the most part.(pc world)
