Some people wait too long before upgrading

Disclaimer: Before starting I just want to point out that I know that there might be legitimate business reasons for not upgrading sooner.

While going through the Lotus developerWorks forum today (using the RSS main topic feed) I saw a post asking a question regarding ODBC before upgrading their server to version 7 later in the year. The versions used in the setup amazes me:

  • Domino server on 4.6.7a
  • OS of Domino server is NT4 SP5
  • Workstations running Notes 4.6.7a (on Windows XP though)
Here we all are discussing Domino/Notes 6.5+ features and can't wait for Notes 7.5 / Hannover and then someone is still running 4.6!! On Windows NT4!! Amazing.

If it aint broken - don't fix it!!

If nothing else it just proves that Domino just runs, and runs, and runs, and runs...
