And how did I almost forget to mention… Notes native on Linux!

Didn’t realize we pushed this to the wire today until I saw the hype in a couple artices and /. … then wondered who leaked it… awesome. You can now run Lotus Notes 7.0.1 (aka “Hannover”) native on Linux - they do it with Eclipse RCP and Workplace Managed Client provides some of the undercarriage work. It’s really awesome to see it on Linux.

The amazing part of this is that b/c the Notes 7 base was built with Eclipse, we delivered the code a full year earlier than anticipated - one year shaved off development costs… if you haven’t looked at Eclipse for client side development… you better take a new look. I was shocked when I started running it and was impressed by the richness of the RCP presentation.

I wonder what it looks like with XGL… hmmm…. I’ll venture to bet IBM tech support won’t like that…
