New Poll: Move to Microsoft?  From the Editor: by Joyce Chutchian, Site Editor Greetings from Lotusphere. This is the 11th year of the big show. And like the previous 10 years, it promises to load you up with more information on IBM Lotus technology than you could ever imagine -- all at your fingertips. If you don't have the privilege or funds to come to Orlando, don't fret. SearchDomino.com will be updating the site daily with the latest news and announcements from the show on our Lotusphere special events page. I had the chance to speak with IBM Lotus' Ken Bisconti last week, who, by the way, has attended all 11 Lotuspheres. He was definitely excited about the show, and with good reason. IBM Lotus had a good year last year, delivered on its promise with four new products and offered a bright outlook for 2004. You'll hear more about IBM Lotus' plans for this year and beyond. I'll say one thing, the powers that be at IBM Lotus aren't holding back on what they plan to roll out. They're telling it like it is. Speaking of telling it like it is -- what's this I hear about Microsoft courting Domino developers? Could it be? Would you so easily be enticed to move to .NET and VB? Take our poll and please sound off. I've got to know. Finally, we'll be announcing the 2003 SearchDomino.com Achiever Award winners this evening at Lotusphere. Be sure to check out the profiles on the finalists and winners. The 2004 awards will be here before you know it.
