nachdem kurz nach dem erscheinen von nd7 die notes und domino downloads von ibm wieder entfernt wurden (angeblich nicht wegen einem bug), sind diese nun endlich wieder verfügbar.

IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 products are now available for download.

If you downloaded Lotus Notes and Domino 7 GA products on or prior to Friday, 2 September 2005, please note: Some IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 products were temporarily unavailable for download while we corrected a problem with the distribution site. Please be aware that this problem did not involve the executable code. It concerned an administrative issue with downloading the proper license agreement for these products.

You do not need to re-install the product.

die downloadrate ist wie üblich sehr akzeptabel…

that’s cool – i didn’t know that:

Notes 7:
Notes 7 includes new instant meeting functionality such as Application Sharing, Whiteboard, IP Audio, and IP Video. This is the same instant meeting functionality that is available from the Sametime Connect client.

Notes 6.5.x:
The only meeting functionality available in Note 6.5.x is a chat meeting, which is three or more people in a chat session.

domino 7 ist nun endlich verfügbar – wenn auch ohne db2 support (man kann aber am IBM Lotus Domino and DB2 feature for Domino 7 program teilnehmen). über die passport advantage seite kann man neben notus und domino 7 unter anderem auch sametime, aber z.b. noch kein quickplace herunterladen.

Two top market research firms, Gartner and IDC, have published new reports showing IBM lost yet more e-mail market share to Microsoft in 2004.

Both research firms now say Microsoft Exchange is king of e-mail, a market Notes once dominated with more than a 60% share.

IDC says sales of Exchange grew 23% in 2004, to $950 million, while Notes sales grew 5% to $745 million. By the end of 2004, Exchange held 51% of the market, versus 40% for Notes, IDC says. That’s a wider gap than in 2003, when IDC estimated Exchange held a 47% market share versus 43% for Notes.

Gartner estimates Exchange now has a 48% market share versus 45.2% for Notes.
