Looks like I am in very good company with many of the best of Lotus technology professionals.  I am a tech guy and like to keep my thoughts around technology and the use of the technology in a way that gives a corporation a competitive edge.  I believe that technology is an ingredient often overlooked. Last week I had a conversation with someone that said we already have all these apps and don't need anything new.  In many cases this may be true, but the new technologies coming out today from IBM and others brings reuse of code to a new level, integration to new levels, meaning fewer lines of code, ease of use,  less duplication of effort, less duplication of data and fewer network resources used since only the data needed is carried on the lines and stored on disk.  All of this means lower cost and giving your company a competitive edge ( http://www.scip.org ).

Some of the technologies part of the IBM/Lotus portfolio now embraces with Web 2.0 (catch all), AJAX, Web Services, Composite Application, xPages, Lotus Notes R8+, Symphony, Connections, phone and device support and Quickr.  

So, can we start referring to Microsoft as a Legacy company? One that does not enable a company to be as competitive as the next due to cost? It's all about margin in the corporate world, so if we help enable a company to be better, faster, and cost less, then we've contributed to that bottom line.

I think this is where IBM/Lotus is starting to shine now.
