I thought Lotus Notes ran on Linux. I have memories of running an older version on Wine years ago, but isn't there a native port by now? If not, Domino Server should support people using browsers on Linux.

Good to hear of someone on Notes though. Seeing where Microsoft are going with Sharepoint, Notes was there 5 or 10 years ago! I expect Notes is much further progressed now.

At my last place of work I developed in Java and managed UNIX machines. Linux was the natural desktop for me - so much more functional. I find Windows quite lacking now I'm used to working with Linux.

Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
