Once again Lotus was so ahead of the game

Mesh. Mesh. Mesh. Mesh. Mesh.   Seems like that is all anyone is asking me about today!

Cutting past the Microsoft marketing hype, here is a great article you should read that asks some of the hard questions about Microsoft's plans.

Now here is where I want to cry...  The author points out "Synchronization is this computing era's Holy Grail.".   He talks about Apple and Google, and things like SynchML, iTunes, and Gears.

Repeat after me.   LOTUS NOTES REPLICATION.

Once again, Lotus technology (which Ray Ozzie obviously was a key part of) is amazing, and no one of the "new generation" knows about it.

What if we came out with a press release about how Lotus Notes allows you to synchronize data across multiple machines and even across multiple operating systems, allows multiple users to perform updates, handles changes at the database, document, or even field level,  supports working disconnected/off-line, and supports full end to end encryption!    Wow sounds like a 2008 Web 2.0 dream.... but we've been doing it for a decade.
