What we are hearing from our customers is that when folks are moved to the cloud hosted Notes, their mail file design gets replaced with a new IBM template and locked down. This, they tell us, is a MAJOR disruption to their productivity as they can no longer use the features they have come to depend on to get things done.

That said, IBM is a very large organization and from what we can tell, the policies and procedures vary across the organization.

Our information, which is limited at best, comes from IBMers that are either eProductivity customers or people who want to be. Beyond that, we have no "official" source of information.]]>

BUT all IBMers that are "moving to the cloud" will get the IBM Verse UI as an additional option. They can also continue to use their Notesclient (including any 3rd-party Notes applications that make use of client-side integration) if they prefer.]]>

Its a pity that the Notes 9 version is so ugly. As a consequence, I still use the 8.5 theme.

Another limitation [for some] is that there is a limit of 32 workspace pages.]]>

As an eProductivity user, I cracked the software wide open when I first got it -- I wanted to see everything it had to offer (can I get a shout-out for the AutoParser?)

I dove right into the Horizons of Focus, filled them all out, tucked them away, and have hardly touched them since.

The real trick with GTD is keeping your systems current -- because I don't have a consistent routine to review them, they've inevitably fallen behind.

Following Matt Perman's concept of a Weekly Routine in his book, What's Best Next?, I'm going to start mapping out my week in large (but flexible) chunks of time, which will include scheduled reviews of all my systems.

I think this Weekly Routine thing would be a great concept for anyone looking to get "back on the wagon" with GTD!]]>

The key combos used to be a bit better, but IBM broke some of them in the move to Eclipse client.

Another great key is Alt-Enter for bringing up the properties box.]]>

That's like calling my Xterra "Nissan Pathfinder Car". I guess it helps plant the seed for getting me into a Pathfinder eventually, but it's not exactly subtle. It actually seems more like a poor Japanese to English translation.]]>

That was always hard to explain to non Notes users or for those who did not have apps.

In my experience those that still value Notes value it because their business processes are embedded in it along with their mail.

Positioning Notes and "Domino Apps" as different platforms will add to the confusion.]]>
