Are you @Live with Sametime 7.5 yet?

Well a funny thing resurfaced in the world of Internet shortcuts.  People are getting into the habit of using the '@' symbol for the word 'at' more often, instead of just in email addresses.  Like:


'Meet me @ 5'
'I will be @ the office'


But, I found that when I went home last night with the new Sametime 7.5 Connect client, I said @Home in my Location when prompted.  Unfortunately it blanked out the Location field from showing.  If I simply removed the @ symbol,, it all came back.  Bizarre and from reading it was deferred to a later fix.

On the positive side, the location setting is great and makes finding how to contact and where people are a great thing.  It works well so far for our sales team that upgraded right away and some of our people at customer sites.  Good stuff there.
