More Volker-channeled community input for IBM Lotus -- check the comments on the full post What do you think, Lotus can really do if they try? Or what do you think they will do?

Stats for last week. Just a few thoughts: Mac OS X is much higher than market share suggests. More than four in five visitors are on Intel Macs. A lot more Mac visitors than Linux. A year after the release, Vista has not made much progress into the installed ...
