“Lotus officially confirmed last week that it would drop support
for Netware on Domino, while adding support for Linux.”
“The move reflects the feelings of many users that Netware is
increasingly irrelevant to Notes installations.”
“Moores added: ‘There is a rise in interest in Linux among
Exchange and NT users. As a person who runs both Exchange and Notes
User Groups, the growth in interest in Linux is remarkable.'”
“Robin Bloor, chief executive of Bloor Research, agreed. ‘NT has
virtually destroyed Netware as an application server. Now Linux is
eating into NT’s app server market in a similar way,’ he said.”
