I love how lotus consultants go crazy over these numbers... I've been consulting in the business, everywhere from mom and pop shops to fortune 100 enterprises, and the general consensus is always 'Lotus Notes, yeah, we used to use that'. It's going downhill folks, face it. Sure, blame IBM for not advertising. Betamax was better than VHS too....it gets to a point where it doesn't matter even if Lotus does do something better - it's not worth dealing with having this one-off system off an island. So what if Microsoft bundles the exchange CAL with enterprises licensing, and it gets counted as a customer even though it's not being used. It's one more reason FOR them to use it, because it's free already! Plus, IBM hasn't ever stood up to really explain their licensing counts either - last I heard they never dropped people who had previously purchased Lotus from their count of installed users...so over all of these years, the number just keeps growing...that's not exactly a great figure to go by either. I know some large corps that migrated over to Exchange..that's not exactly being described now, is it.

The Radicati Group is funded by Microsoft, and has never published a negative Microsoft article. As always consider the source. IBM 20% of market share? really? This is due to the funny math. Since most large corporations that use MS-Windows servers OS get free site licenses to use MS-Exchange, so even if Exchange is not used in such a corporation, The Radicati Group counts those immaginary seats in favor of Microsoft.... because they are paying for the research, but really now... it's more like it that Microsoft is paying for the results rather than the actual research. What is true however, is that Microsoft has an amazing huge marketing budget, whereas IBM is too cheap to advertise properly.
