So I’ve been using the new Sametime client on my laptop for the last couple of days now and, nice as it is to have native Apple software, I’m afraid it’s not quite polished enough to call a gold release. It feels to me like a late beta or a release candidate version. There are still annoying little bugs / features which have pushed me back to continuing with Adium for the moment.
This is just a list of the bits and pieces I’ve found so far…
These are all minor issues but taken together it makes the product look slapdash and thrown out without sufficient testing. I would much much prefer to wait for a further round of bug fixing and testing to get the product right than have to deal with unfinished software.
The only thing I can say is that I hope this isn’t an indication of what we can expect for the Notes 8 release which is also based on the Eclipse platform.
