It is amazing to me how many supposedly tech-savy people fall for the same B.S. over and over again.

A simple article about the iPhone supporting Notes (through iNotes I think) generated yet another long list of people who want to talk about how much they don't like Notes based on using many years old versions, and completely ignoring the facts of vendor lock in and proprietary vs. open data access models.

How can anyone who is locked into Active Directory + Exchange + Outlook + SQL Server + Sharepoint + Win2k3 servers serious comment about Notes applications being silo'ed or subject to vendor lock in? It boggles the mind.
