Correction Intel and PPC for Basic Notes - Version: 8.5, 7/16/2009 03:03PM PST

Correction - the full version requires Intel. The basic version will do Intel and PPC, but still requires 10.5.5.

According to IBM's requirements, Notes 8.5 is for OS X 10.5.5 or higher and Intel only!
I'm not sure what they're thinking there - my company still has plenty of G5-based Macs in production use.

IBM Makes a Mess in Root - Version: 8.5, 2/6/2009 04:21AM PST

Lotus Notes 8.5 spills hundreds of megabytes of files in the root directory of either the boot volume or the volume which is the destination of the Notes install, (and usually these are one and the same). Imagine if all software developers made a practice of doing this. It's outrageous and not done by IBM on the Windows platform.

I know OS X has lower market share, but if you bother to develop for this platform, do it right. IBM, clean up this mess you carelessly make in the root level. Leave root alone.
