New It would be nice
if they had both a Java and Native version of Open Office for OSX.

It would also be nice if Apple activated their partnership with IBM and had IBM port their Lotus applications to OSX. But IBM wouldn't even port the Lotus applications to Linux, go figure that one out!
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

New Not IBM.
Even though IBM now own Lotus, it's not IBM and it's not Lotus who won't do a Linux port of the Notes client. There's a third company owned (AFAIK) by Lotus who do all the development. They decided porting Domino to Linux was enough of an effort and refused to do a Linux port of the client. Besides, they wanted to push the web access to Domino.

Or at least that was the state of the nation 2 years ago when I was supporing Domino on Linux.
