I will have to disagree. I am using the newest version of Notes and while it is much improved (I was using version 6 for a while before going to 8), it doesn't hold a candle to Exchange/Outlook for pure email. I will agree that all the customization you can do on Notes is very impressive and, with the right programmers, trumps Exchange/Outlook. But, again, for pure email - which is what I'd say 80% of the users do with it - it really is not impressive. Most of the users I have that we have migrated to version 8 are incredibly frustrated with the load times, even though they have been issued brand new computers. Now, also, from the back end side, I understand email admins like Notes better, bug again, the 80% (guessing, using the 80/20 rule) using for pure email are not thrilled.
