Microsoft bashing has always been a key function at IBM's annual Lotusphere conference which lands in Orlando, Florida, again next week. Funny how collaboration software will do that.
In years past, executives have swing out massive statistics of how many “seats" Lotus Notes and Domino has gained or held against Exchange and SharePoint. Microsoft doggedly answers the chides with fresh sets of numbers of their own.

Notably, LotusLive iNotes still offers little integration with other LotusLive products stemming from IBM's quick acquisition of the technology with the purchase of Hong-Kong-based Outblaze in early 2009.
