IBM used "R Next" for the follow up to Lotus Notes & Domino R5. This eventually becaume Notes 6 and Domino 6. Can't Microsoft come up with at least one original idea? Maybe they could name it "X Successor". Around the office they could shorten it to "X Sucs".
I'm so glad someone mentined this. Notes/Domino has a larger market share than Exchange in corporate environments, has far more features, and the server runs on Red Hat (and AIX, and Windows)! The Designer client used for development is Windows-only in the recent version 6, but the normal client is Windows and Mac (Carbon). Domino will be the real gladiator in the battle against MS Exchange and.Net with Lotus Domino and IBM Websphere.
Everyone who was even remotely aware of Apple's plans knew that 10.2 was coming soon (September was the prevailing theory). If you were that concerned about it you should have waited. In fact, they will deliver an updated PowerBook within 6 months too. Do you want that for free? Get over it - developers cost money and so do software updates.
Wireless is the only way to go if you have an existing house (or rental). I know my landlord would frown on my taking a drill to the drywall and running CAT-5 through the rafters. My Airport base station along with Lucent Orinoco cards for my computers made my house internet ready with a few hour's worth of work.
