Domino 8 Beta

I like to try and keep up with developments with the other products and had a little smile when I saw these two new features pop up in the Domino 8 Beta.

Firstly they have included "message recall" and secondly they have included "address type-ahead" The first feature is self explanatory and the second is something we call autocomplete.

It looks like this in Domino 8 Beta

They are brilliant features but the reason that it made me grin was that we have had both these functions in Exchange/Outlook since 2002. If you want really cutting edge features such as accessing your mailbox using voice then you need to be looking at Exchange 2007 Server.

What's with calling the Lotus Notes client "Domino"?

Also, the type-ahead in Notes 8 is intelligent -- showing frequently used names at the top, for example.  Type-ahead itself is nothing new, in fact we had it in cc:mail 15 years ago, and in Notes about 10.

Take another look at composite applications, sidebar plug-ins, and other parts of Notes 8 -- you'll find plenty of cutting edge.

Indeed, the type-ahead address isn't just pulling stuff from the directory. Out of the hundreds of people called Smith in my company when I type 'smi' it goes straight to the Smith that I converse with most. And it also suggests names I've swapped e-mails with recently, even if I didn't save the address in my address book.

What isn't showing in that screenshot is that the Sametime status is also shown when doing type-ahead addressing.

Having a p*ssing contest about features is a waste of time. Outlook doesn't have anything like the Activities integration in Notes 8, and I'm sure Outlook has a few things that Notes doesn't. Sure, Exchange has some voice activated stuff... were the developers working on that when they could have been getting the active / active clustering working?
