From one extreme to the other, both bad

Palm has sent a cease and desist order to Tealpoint to stop distributing its nifty launcher TealOS. I'm not the only one absolutely mystified by such a move. This is outrageous on several levels, and here's why.

I hate Lotes Notes

I hate Lotus Notes.

I will admit that it isn't the fault of the developers, not totally, anyway. After all, they'll be the first to admit that it was not designed as an email client first, which is how most people (especially those like me who hate it) interact with it.

Searching for sympathy, I found the website Lotus Notes Sucks (site was taken down; here's an old copy of it). It's a shame that the creator of the site appears to no longer be updating it. What is available on the site, however, is still sufficient to justify the simmering hate that users feel when they are unwittingly subject to the madness that is Lotus Notes.

OK, we've seen, we've heard, we've liked what we saw...and yet...and yet...

I can't quite wrap my head around this new paradigm...
