Here’s a run-down of some of the cool things I’ve noticed that IBM totally got right with this version:

• More right-click support (or CTRL-Click, if you’re old-school)
• GREAT fonts … they look like they belong on a Mac (and that’s without the help of Silk … infact, its much better than Notes 6.5.4 w/ Silk)
• Scolling! — I’ve lived without it for so long, I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
• Icons for To/CC status of emails and for Sametime presence awareness
• The Tools\Preference window looks very nice. A big improvement over the previous version.
• Drag-n-Drop for file attachments feels less buggy.
• Support for right double-click
• Opt + Return (Enter) brings up the Property’s box!

I have run into a few problems, though. Again, this is a BETA, so these are to be expected to some degree.

First, the desktop6.ndk file seems to get corrupt during the install. I tried a few different ways to save this file on both my primary machine and a home Mac, but the first time you fire up Notes after the install, it gives you an error and you’re only option is to recreate all your icons on your Workspace. — This really could have been a pain, but it gave me the incentive I needed to re-organize my icons, so I’m not going to complain (too much).

Also, Sametime is integrated into the client which is very nice. It feels a bit buggy and doesn’t even come close to having the same awesome UI that Adium has (which is what I’ve been using to get IM functionality up unil now).

Sametime also didn’t connect when I was on my Internet connection. I realize ..]]>
