Well it looks like someone in Redmond REALLY likes the “Bourne” movies and has a good sense of humor.

It’s a good clip, I like it. At some point they’ll have to show or talk in more detail about the actual product, but a good teaser nevertheless.

The one “take away” for Lotus marketing: It’s okay to acknowledge past mistakes. In this case Microsoft took a very humorous approach with Clippy the “helping” paper clip. A parallel would be Lotus acknowledging the “well aged” user interface in Notes R5-R7 and how everything has changed.
