Ever?
I wont explain my angers...just my normal, half yearly rant at such a silly piece of software.
I PRAY that one day my company start using Outlook
please...one precious day.

No, frankly.
Although SameTime is pretty cool.
The original Word Perfect was rather tricky to use.
Answer? Yes. PC-Write. And I don't EVER want to talk about it again....

Agreed - certainly not as good as WordStar 2

Notes tis awful. We have also been told our company have no plans to change to outlook. Damn their eyes! I'd rather go back to the carrier pidgoen.
Not around too often!
Lotus Notes - A great example of how a database sharing program does not make a very good email package. Having said that, it did have the virtue of being completely immune to all the various address-harvesting mail worms that went around a while back, and also being a tad less likely to rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish your entire email infrastructure if some silly person decided to email 70 full-res photos of the office party to a couple of hundred people. I think that's why companies still use it, but whenever you encounter someone in tears because they've just lost all the work they've done in a launched attachment, you have to question if it's worth it.
Notes 6.5 is pretty gnarly in some ways but its a dream compared to 4.0 - which in turn was marvellous compared to GEMS on the mainframe, so I guess it's all a question of perspective![]()
The company ive just started working for were using outlook but moved over to notes![]()
It's by no means a trivial thing to do. Setting up the co-existance and mail routing between Exchange and Domino was an absolute pig (took 20 hours solid work) and we ended up hitting bugs in the Exchange-Notes connector that the (totally useless) Microsoft support engineers were unable to solve.
Once that's setup and working you've then got to do the migration of users and their messages which isn't fun. It's very, very, very GC hungry (every recipient encounted results in a GC lookup) which makes the process pretty slow at best and hurrendous at times.
I'd rather quit than do this for 100,000 users. I'm only doing it for 350 and it's already giving me (even more) grey hairs.
I quite like it, users only know how to do what they are told in it, that way its pretty hard for them to mess it up...seriously. It certainly doent look pretty though, that much I grant you.
Plus the domino backend is pretty nice resource wise, not as user/admin friendly as exchange but *potentially* much more feature rich.
Also the worse piece of software I have used recently has to be iTunes, I hate it, feels slow and clumbersome combine that with the bloatware of quicktime it forces you to install. I know that not many will agree but I really cant stand it.
