Yeah, I thought it would go the other way also... it's pretty obvious to me
that Domino users SHOULDN'T be i5/OS users! That's the type of workload
that a 515 would be perfect for... I was at least hoping our Domino box
would be suitable for the new scheme, but it's not either. We are a pretty
small shop that's been running our DB2 apps, WAS, and Domino for years, and
we're not seeing a fit at all with the new licensing scheme. I was
optimistic at first... hopefully we'll have an option with future
announcements to at least buy a similarly priced box as what we have now.

Wellllllllllll now. I have asked 'The Guru' this question and apparently
I am indeed incorrect. That is to say that Domino users DO count as
entitled users. While said Guru personally does agree with me (and I
have others who completely agree with me on this) he states that Domino
MCU (Mail and Calendar users) DO count as i5/OS entitles users. He
states: "This essentially puts the 515 out of the picture for most
Domino customers." I would have to agree with him on this issue. (A
comment that makes me go: Hmmmmmm.)
So: My apologies for being wrong but at lease I can take solace in that
I'm not alone being wrong! :-(

Yep... Larry was wrong on the Domino user license answer. ;) He's dead
on for most answers ,though!
We are getting the feeling that the UBP will hit us pretty badly in the
pocketbook also... and we are NOT a big shop (Just over 200 users on our
most populated box ). I have faith that IBM won't leave us too far out
in
the cold though... there are probably a TON of other shops that the new
model doesn't fit so well either.
