As you think about Release 7, please realize Notes has come a long way in its 30+ year history. The article we're showcasing today describes the differences in releases from each version of Notes up through Notes 6.5, and, if you read the other articles in this month's DominoPower, you'll see the changes that are coming into place in R7.

I'm very excited about some of the new features coming into R7 and, in that excitement, sometimes I forget just how long Notes has been around and how far its come. After all, it's hard to believe it's been a 10 years since IBM bought out Lotus!
