Domino 7 and Sametime integration changes


Tags :


Reading the announcements on Domino 7 they are talking about Sametime integration expansion.  That is right, expansion.  The ability to start instant audio and video and even screen sharing meetings.  So that brings us right to a licensing question for now.  If they only support chat as a free service through the integration, how will adding these features into the client affect what you have to purchase?  How can you disable that portion.  I mean it is even in the right click menus when logged in from the Notes client.  Very cool stuff, but we have some customers that are beginning to read and ask.  Now this might be answered out there somewhere already, I just haven't read it yet.  Maybe some updated information from Ed or others will give insight.

But of course there are some cool things, like that the chats have their own threads now and the buddy list can be minimized to the task bar.  I run it in transparency mode, but some people like it open all the time.  There are also some new options preferences on how a new IM alerts you.

I will update if I get an answer to this.
