Existing users, 
I just hate the update-scheme for Lotus Notes. I'm one of the only Mac users in my organisation and and for email and databases etc Lotus Notes is the app to use.
My IT department won't give me any updates since they don't support Macs. So every time a Lotus Notes update is released I have to create an account @ IBM and download the demo version in order to update.
Although the company I work for has a close relation with IBM/Lotus Notes they refuse to help/assists/provide me with the updates they receive from IBM.
IBM just place the link for the updates. People using Lotus Notes are already big clients.
Sorry if I appear to be frustrated....that's because I am.
Lotus Notes
Messaging & collaboration client.
Version: 8.5.1
Where is the 6.5.4. Mac update..or any update link - polar_bear_north
Hi Sasha -If I had to guess you work for Philips - but that Might be wrong... I'm in the same situation - big company with a high priority on using applications that are centrally managed and uniquely obtuse.
I found this link to be very helpful... While I still had to create an account at IBM to get the download, it did work. 6.5.4 seems much better in Tiger than 6.5 did.

Now if only I could find a better front end to Domino... IBM may make great servers - but it needs some serious help with the UI on the notes client... Maybe they could work a deal with Apple to help them here.

The IBM Lotus website seems to have been reorganised slightly, but it's still hard to find things. I got hold of Notes 6.5.4 for Mac by going to the following:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/downloads/
and choosing the 'Notes 6.5.x client only' link. I had to create a new developer account as my old one wasn't recognised.
