Notes is Notes, regardless of operating system the interface, short-cuts are still the same, even on Windows 8.ДЇigure 5: Ready for the surprise? Windows 8 has finally worked out how run java apps like eclipse efficiently No surprises here, even with the 'Operating System Theme' applied through the IBM Lotus Notes settings, everything was as normal, and Lotus Notes running quite happily on the new OS.ДЄgain, get used to pressing the Windows key, or hovering your mouse in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen to get back to the 'Start' page, or to choose options such as control panel, power-off, etc. Right-clicking the 2 entries for 'Collect Lotus Notes diagnostics' and 'unpin from start' was also followed with a right-click on a tile, revealing a ribbon-style menu at the bottom of the screen, from where one can choose 'All Apps' where one can right-click the actual 'Lotus Notes' icon and choose 'Pin to Start' from the ribbon to add it to the start screen.ДЇigure 3: the desktop for running non-metro applicationsДЄpplications not designed for the new Windows Metro interface will run in classic 'Desktop' mode, which is more like the familiar interface from previous (recent) versions of Windows.ДЇigure 4: the desktop for running non-metro applications Windows 8 did add my 'Lotus Applications' folder to the start page, however this included everything except the actual Lotus Notes client. This is where you will spend a LOT of time browsing applications, reviewing live tiles, etc (remind anyone of another application? -) ) I really like the live tiles, and can't help but think how cool it could be if the IBM Lotus Notes workspace could be modified to scroll the latest new/modified content in a database. Yes, I did browse through some preferences and found a very pleasing theme that appealed to me :-) Even more surprising was the amount of memory reported by Windows 8 running Lotus Notes 8.5.3 standard edition - yes, the heavy java based eclipse version - which many people on lower spec machines complain about. End result, I was really very surprised when Windows 8 quite happily ran on a single core with only 512 mb of memory. Running inside a VM allows all sorts of configuration changes to be made to the guest, and I wound the settings down as far as I dare to test the performance of the new OS to see what would happen. The following are screen-shots of my Notes client running on the new OS, which I must admit I really kind of like! Of course, the only real thing I was concerned about was it's performance as a platform for my productivity application, IBM Lotus Notes. Windows 8 and Lotus Notes, the big surprise is the memory Mat Newman Octo18:42:37A few weeks ago I downloaded the evaluation version of Windows 8.
