Customers want to save the money before they can actually spend it. The only thing where that happens is the none renewal of MS Office licenses, that's a real saving that you can bank, but the other savings you mentioned are not actually savings that you can take the money out. They just prevent you spending more.

Don't get me wrong, these savings can be big in Big companies.

In Asia (China excluded) the majority of the companies that you will deal with are SME's and they have been hurt a lot by the downturn.

Most don't have legal licenses for MS office so there's no saving there, Symphony is therefore same price is MS Office.

So its hard to show these companies that might have 500 or 1000 users a good saving.

The approach I have taken is that if they implement an application with workflow they can illuminate paper and filing and filling staff, thus making a real long term saving, this of course might include a Notes upgrade.

It really does look like oversight that these are still not editable, and during the answer, the suggestion was made that a resource bundle be made to allow multi-lingual oolumn titles, etc. Which is perfectly acceptible.

No - we're not asking you to auto-translate column contents - that would be insane.

A suitable workaround would be code that allowed an embedded view to have its column titles updated, for instance.

Given this clarification, any update on delivery time ?

As developers, we always keep to deadlines...

No. Not even I can keep a straight face on this. ;-)

4 weeks is neither here nor there, and no-one can complain if extra testing found more bugs to be fixed.

Perhaps a wee hintette from yourself, from this esteemed blog might have reassured us that it was still in focus. And possible bonus points for doing it in greek grammar..

I think what this illustrates is that the delivery mechanism from Lotus is strong, and becoming slightly more transparent for everyone, which is a huge step forward. Long may this last..

(And if I hadn't had to rebuild a visual studio 2005 build environment on Friday I would have blogged about this myself)
