IBM releases Sametime 7.5 early
by Volker Weber
Scheduled to be announced next Tuesday, the code can be downloaded from Passport Advantage now. IBM has released the server for AIX, AS/400, Solaris and Windows, as well as the clients for Linux and Windows. The Mac client remains in beta. IBM has also committed to a Linux server in the first half of 2007.
People familiar with the beta program tell me, that they have hoped for another beta drop before going gold and that there are a quite a number of deferred bugs. IBM has decided to release the product. I suggest you get your feet wet in a test environment before deploying to your users.
Update: Read Carl's posting on memory usage. That is the price you have to pay for developing on top of the Eclipse framework.
I think I need to write an "eSuite 2.0" opinion piece.

Carl's posting link seems to be missing...
Downloaded and installed on our Windows and Solaris boxes... Seems to work fine.
No Problems with Webclient, Sametimeclient and BlackBerry (Enterprise Messenger).
I did a posting on memory in the client under different tasks and even the way it is minimized to the taskbar makes a difference.
Hello
So is this caused by bad design or just that eclipse will suck the memory out of any PC?
Paul
@Paul - It's Eclipse. Remember it's running a Virtual Machine. So before you've done anything, memory will have gone just to allow the VM to interact with the native OS etc.
I don't get it. Why not just write a Sametime plugin for GAIM. Wait, there's Meanwhile…
