I rather like the idea of SlideShare.net – being able to upload an Open Document Format presentation (or PowerPoint, if you must) and sharing it with the world in a slideshow format. However, until tonight I hadn’t got round to uploading anything. Last year I was going to share my ‘Notes 8 Top Ten’ presentation (in Spinal Tap-style, it has eleven features listed) but it never hit the top of the to-do list… it may do soon. Numerous Lotus Notes alumni (Ed Brill included, of course) have shared their content so there’s no shortage of slides.
As we’re having some success against Microsoft Exchange at the moment, I thought I’d post some of the slides I’m using. The basic premise is that Lotus Notes / Domino have been subject to a consistent upgrade-able architecture (with continuous improvements) throughout their history, whereas with Microsoft Exchange… well, it’s not my place to tell you about the Exchange roadmap, so go and ask Microsoft.

Nice slides. Even looks great viewing it on the Wii’s browser
Cool, very cool – and I like how the slide are embedded too. Funnily enough I can only remember one or two problems with Notes Upgrades from R3 to R4 and R4 to R4.5 but they were mostly to do with HOW we upgraded.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a compatibility issue with Notes/Domino.
Exchange has a roadmap?!
@3 – let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. The big question is, if they have a roadmap, why aren’t they sharing it? I can only surmise that it’s not that great or something they don’t actually think their customers will like. If they don’t have a roadmap… well, then Exchange is a dead product.
If anyone from Microsoft wants to enlighten us, feel free. However, I have noticed on Ed Brill’s blog that the Microsoft boys do quickly vacate the thread the moment this comes up… which is rather telling.
