While IBM and Microsoft duke it out for what they think is market dominance, small players like PostPath are moving in. (More to come on this. Talking to an enterprise user today who has yanked Exchange for PostPath, even though the compnay's 400 end users still use Outlook. Watch for details on this user story on Microsoft Subnet.

Puhleese!
So they snag 300K seats?
How did they displace? In what way does this affect Microsoft?
I would have been an even bigger story, and more relevant to the Microsoft angle if they had displaced Exchange/SharePoint.
As it stands right now, Microsoft should thank them for being placeholders for the eventual replacing of the Notes suite in a couple of years or so.

Hello? Are you from the past?
Clearly you must have been under a rock for the past year, so I'll explain, Lotus has been lauded in the press and blogosphere for "eating Microsoft's lunch" with their current range of products. Step out of the 90's and check out this century, it's much better than you think.
Microsoft.... Lookout messaging solutions
The hubris from these MS primadonnas is nauseating. Their products were just OK and now with the new Vista crap they're absolutely horrible.
You sound scarily like an
You sound scarily like an ignorant bigot.
As someone who has the misfortune to use Lotus Notes, I feel sorry for anybody who has the same misfortune. But I thought most of us had been stuck with it for more than a decade. I guess the idea that there are new people could still sign up for Notes shows one should never underestimate the stupidity of corporate IT departments....
And you sound any better?
Sorry to say "Suffering," but your rant sounds like someone using a version 5+ years old. Clearly you haven't seen Notes 8.
You're just as bigoted against Lotus as the other person might be against Microsoft.
Time to get over yourself, and get a better IT org that actually upgrades their software.
Spam, virus, malware, sound
Spam, virus, malware, sound familiar it would do if you were using outlook LOL
Pot, Kettle here...
PUHLEESE youreself. If this were reversed, Microsoft would be screaming it from the hills how they took Notes seats.
Lotus does the same thing and suddenly that's a problem? LOL
