Subject: IBM Lotus Notes/Domino 7 and Extended products GA will be back online shortly

I downloaded the files last week and they install fine. Since I have a migration planned for wednesday I really would like some confirmation whether or not I can proceed with the downloaded files.

Is your post here, Janet, IBM’s official statement of the withdrawal of the release of Lotus Domino 7?

Subject: This sounds fishy at best

“to correct a problem with the distribution site”

So, Partnerworld and Passport Advantage have the same issues. With exactly the same files? Who is supposed to believe that?

Why is it so hard to just tell it as it is.

Subject: I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…

… to get this when I click on the link:

Subject: *Ahh, fixed now. Thanks for the info. Very helpful to know.

Subject: Why is it so hard to just tell it as it is?

“Those who have downloaded the ND7 GA product already should download and install the restored files, once they are available, in order to ensure they’ve received a properly distributed product.”

It can’t be the site because the help files and a few small exe’s are available for download. It sounds like someone found a load of bugs and updated files have to produced. Why would we download the files again if there wasn’t something wrong with the first offerings?

I hope they didn’t lose the right files ;-}

I agree with the last poster; Why is it so hard to just tell it as it is?
