Our email system has been up and down lately. Today this email was sent around:
“I believe there is some reason for optimism for the future because we will be buying a new Lotus Notes server very soon. We will be moving off of the IBM AIX (IBM’s UNIX platform) to the Microsoft platform because we have been told that the Microsoft platform has much better support from Lotus. The Lotus Notes applications run on the Microsoft platform, and that has proved to be stable.”
At first it felt as if I was reading some joke or satire article. But the email was for real. I have yet to wrap my mind around the statements in that email. I would never dream of running a mission-critical application on a Microsoft platform. If they think they have problems now, I wonder what’s going to happen when the next worm or other fun security exploit comes around.
