Sounds like a fork in the road to me.
🙂
A lot more will become clear in the coming months Richard. This “fork” does have a good place in Microsoft’s overall strategy on collaboration.
So what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander? If a major PR talking point for MS is the supposed fork in the road of Lotus’ collaboration platform, how can the same thing not be a probem for MS? That is even too hypocritical for MS.

Sean,
The fork in the road is not so much a major PR talking point for Microsoft. Type in “Lotus Notes”in the gartner.com search page as read the first 20 or so reports headlines …
I do think this is an entirely different architecture discussion compared to Microsoft’s acquisition of Groove and how this will be integrated in the IW portfolio
