Frankly I don't agree with most of what the person says.  Do you see TV 
ads for Exchange?  Do you see a lot of TV ads for SQL Server?  Not really. 
 He said that MS markets the product by giving some parts away with each 
purchase of a PC.  How many seats of Exchange or SQL server do you get 
with every PC purchased?
With the Enterprise package on certain models of i5s and iSeries you get a 
certain number of seats of Notes.

IBM once did a bang up job of marketing Notes.  I can still remember my 
teenybopper daughter looking at me with awe and saying "Wow, you use 
Notes?".  Granted I screwed up and got humble saying it's no big thing 
instead of trying to figure out how to continue the wow to her.  You may 
thing that it's not important, but a few years later she was engaged for 
awhile to a lad who was replacing Notes for a large medical office.

Sound familiar?






Sorry if I was a 'thread killer' with my post yesterday regarding IBM. 

Ironically I found this article this morning relative to IBM marketing of 
Notes. It's a few years old but it is the same story. You can basically 
insert iSeries into every reference to notes... So I guess it's not just 
the iSeries that's not being marketed...
