I installed Notes 8 this morning after installing Domino 8 on our production server and I’m liking it! I’m also running a customized version of the Notes 8 mail template (I refuse to call it “mail experience”) and it’s über cool! No issues with the installation or any existing applications so far. It has been smooth sailing.
I don’t know what I was expecting performance wise as previous builds have been running in virtual machines but I have been very pleasantly surprised. The client is snappy and much faster than the beta builds. I’m leaning towards it actually being faster than my Notes 7.0.2 install. I installed the whole package incl. Designer, Administrator, CA editor, activities and productivity editors and all is running on my old IBM Thinkpad T41p.
Installing the client in the morning is tough as I gotta stay focused since there is also work to be dealt with. I wonder what that button does – more later… 😉
