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…
