More from feedback n the quiet Domino 7 forum.

Jack Dausman chimed in about his thoughts on my question I posed about Domino 7 and why the forum was so silent

I have customers who are still weighing in on their R5 upgrade. ND6 was so long in coming, that it did feel like there was more interest. I think R7 will catch on, slowly. But everyone is working in Sametime integration, or second-guessing WorkPlace's value.

So overall is everyone really stuck back in the 'upgrade to R5' days still or as IBM tells us most of you already have made the switch?  Which one is it?  And now we have 7 really soon coming out of the pipe.  Bruce Elgort also said that Domino 7 is still a little feature-less.  Meaning not enough new stuff to get everyone jumping around.  He offers that when DB2 gets rolling along then we will see more action.  Or is everyone not grasping Workplace still and waiting to see if that is going to replace something they want to do on future Domino releases?

I am beginning to think a lot of people are quite happy with the 6.5.x codestream and a move to 7 will be way far in the future as they just learn how to embrace the integrated IM.  Sure they could just start rolling 7 out, but we all know how scared most are if there hasn't been enough testing internally for apps and user interface.  Now 7 has been crazy in how stable it has been on the server and client.  The server I have left running over 2 months now straight with no error seen.  Now it isn't hooked to DB2, but a darn fine start for stability of updated code.
