Well, I’m sure if your reading this then you’ve seen the announcements all over:
And many many more…
After some minor road bumps in their servers IBM had things going very quickly, I was getting over 500k/s download speeds! The install went quite smoothly as most Notes upgrades do. A couple of things to note off the bat. If you install the IBM productivity tools it doesn’t give you a choice and makes itself the default program for all the Open Document formats, not a huge deal to fix, but I would probably rather load up open office unless I already had the Notes client up and running. Next issue I ran into was performance, I would really recommend taking their 512 minimum and 1 gig recommended into consideration. My laptop is a lower end processor with 512 and things seem to really crawl. I’m curious to see how much better things are on a decent desktop computer with more memory. Last issue I have is that there was no way (or at least I couldn’t find one) to import any feeds into their reader. I would like to give it a shot, but my current list of feeds comes in at 63… that’s a lot of retyping.
Issues aside, I really like the new interface. I promptly replaced the design on my mail template and am looking forward to playing around with the changes some more.
