A lot has been written and said about Notes 8, Lotus Connections and Quickr since announcement at Lotusphere 2007. I like particularly what Bill Buchan wrote and I quote:
Notes – my long term partner – well. She’s been tucked, trimmed, lipo’d, exfoliated. A complete makeover. But she’s still the rather interesting person behind this new facade. Some new tricks, of course. But the old ones still work. The in-laws – IBM – well, they cant get enough of her. The twin sisters – Quickr, and Connections. No talk of the ugly cousin -Workplace -anymore.
and then Bill gets a stab into MS also — love it
Let me tell you – Quickr just makes Sharepoint look like an ugly sister. Ouch.
I have run the latest beta build of Notes 8 and must say I like what I see. Much more slicker and responsive and that for a beta build. Cannot wait to get my hands on Connections and Quickr.
