Congrats to you and Julian. I'm quite proud of both of you, as I introduced both of you to the speaking stage, and the topic goes back to my early days of speaking. There's a satisfying symmetry here...

Re: A 4-Step Process for Making Better Decisions

duffbert — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 07:34:13 -0000

I struggle with confirmation bias... not being able to see something for what it is instead of what I think it should be based on what I already "know" about the world. This book would help me get past that point.

Re: List of Large Enterprises that Left Lotus Notes

I told myself I wouldn't bother to respond... but I'm still just amazed here.

*I* didn't mention anything about social, mobile, or web. I don't have a clue as to where you're pulling your arguments from. I don't see where I mentioned Gartner anywhere. My original comment was that you were misinterpreting Ed Brill's statement of 1151 organizations reinstating their Notes support contracts. You're the person who keeps tossing out statements that aren't based anywhere in reality.

You're correct in that migrations are not always (or even usually) a rational decision. Ed Brill talks about this here: http://www.edbrill.com/ebri...

Maybe that's where you got your Gartner idea. No argument on my part. But when you talk about "there are just as many Notes seats as Exchange"? In that same Ed Brill posting, you'll see him state:

"We're in a consistent #2 position in this market(...)"

Counting seats is nearly impossible these days due to the way things are counted, how they're licensed, etc. But you won't even find IBM claiming to be in the #1 spot in the email market. And I'm sticking with *just* the email market with that statement, as you're the one who compared Notes seats to Exchange seats.

You're welcome for the "free publicity". It's good to remember that not all publicity is good publicity, however...

Dude... are you serious?

"You probably do not like Notes as you have never used it."

Really???

Look up http://duffbert.com/duffber...

Google "duffbert"

Do *not* tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Notes is a very good platform. Been there, done that for 17 years. Did you miss this part of what I wrote? "Notes is still (in my opinion) a great product that gets bashed for both good and bad reasons."

You have a vested interest in the Notes platform...

If you read my response before going off the deep end, you'll notice I said I didn't trust *anyone* who had a vested interest in pushing conversions from one platform to another. That includes the article that was published that started this exchange (no pun intended).

I remember when you appeared on Planet Lotus, and I remember when you got dumped off. It wasn't your "writing style".

This is a technology, not a religion.

And I'll say once again...
