A couple of comments.

1) It is great to see real platform support for the Linux versions – installers in native formats for Ubuntu, SuSe and Redhat for example.
2) I think it’s cool that IBM is tying the website experience to the product updates.  Often the product pages appear to be a little bit of an afterthought, whereas the Symphony pages have always been attractive, interactive and bang up to date.  The obvious URL makes such a difference too – symphony.lotus.com
