SearchDomino: Survey: Lotus Notes/Domino 7 upgrades planned, but not yet scheduled

SearchDomino comments on upgrade plansfor Notes/Domino 7:Lotus Notes users have earned a reputationfor brand loyalty. If the results of SearchDomino.com's recent survey ofNotes/Domino developers and administrators are any indication, that loyaltywill continue with Notes/Domino 7.0. The survey revealed that the vast majority of Domino shops plan to upgradeto R7. Only 21 of 169 respondents, or 12 percent, indicated that theirorganization did not plan to upgrade. A target upgraderate of 88%.  Fantastic. One of the great things I've discovered in the last few weeks of speakingat and about Notes/Domino 7 launches is how much the energy is back inthe market.  By the time the over 200 launch events have wrapped up,over 12,000 people will have attended (this number is probably conservative). Many of the launch events were sold out or overflowed (shh, don'ttell the fire marshals).  In Toronto last week, they were bringingin more chairs while George Brichacek and I were proceeding with the keynotespeech.  New launch events keep getting added to the calendar.  Andevery day advances the pulse-quickening progression to Lotusphere.  Moregood stuff.(Updated, forgot the link)Link: SearchDomino:Survey: Lotus Notes/Domino 7 upgrades planned, but not yet scheduled>
