Having to use Notes in Windows is bad. Having to use Notes in linux is just a kick in the cajones. I hate Notes. Notes has contributed to Outlook/Exchange domination, just by it's awfulness.
I even tried Notes in linux, back when we were still using it. The documentation told me it required a hardset dpi of 92. That part lost me. And the loading time was, well, painful. And then it mostly crashed.
We're on Exchange now at work, so I no longer have to deal with Notes. But linux-advocate that I am, I'm not even going to try and deal with Symphony. A java-based application utilizing openOffice 1.x code for document compatibility holds little appeal. I realize IBM is trying to extend their investment in Eclipse to become a cross-platform application framework, but seriously. Just go Qt and be done with it.
I find it interesting that IBM is embracing Ubuntu, though. Their linux distro strategy now seems to now consist of throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks...
Just my 2c...
