Microsoft Office XP supported for Client
Beginning in Release 5.0.11, Lotus Notes adds support for the Microsoft Office XP platform in the following areas:
End of Life for Domino Windows NT Alpha starting with 5.0.11
Domino for Microsoft Windows NT Alpha will no longer be updated starting with 5.0.11. The last version of Domino for Windows NT Alpha is 5.0.10, and no subsequent versions will be developed. Existing deployments of Domino 5.0.10 and Domino versions prior to 5.0.10 will continue to be fully supported on Windows NT Alpha. There is no plan or intent to support Windows NT Alpha in future versions of Domino.
End of Life for Domino Solaris Intel x.86 starting with 5.0.11
Domino for Solaris Intel x.86 will no longer be updated starting with 5.0.11. The last version of Domino for Solaris Intel x.86 is 5.0.10, and no subsequent versions will be developed. Existing deployments of Domino 5.0.10 and Domino versions prior to 5.0.10 will continue to be fully supported on Solaris Intel x.86. There is no plan or intent to support Solaris Intel x.86 in future versions of Domino. We will continue support Domino for Solaris SPARC for Domino R5.0x and Domino 6.
Ending support for these platforms does not signify a change in the Lotus platform strategy. The Software Group at IBM and the Lotus team have long acknowledged that a heterogeneous platform strategy offers our customers the flexibility to deploy Domino within a complex, cross-platform infrastructure. This flexibility is valued by our customers, who frequently wrestle with the challenges of integrating applications on an infrastructure that spans multiple hardware and server operating system platforms.
The cross-platform support that we will continue to deliver with Domino is a powerful message that differentiates Lotus and Domino from Microsoft and Exchange.
