"As we said when 6.0 shipped, subsequent releases will alternate a client vs. server focus". Ummmm this is the first I have heard of this strategy Ed.

As we said when 6.0 shipped, subsequent releases will alternate a client vs. server focus. So, 6.5 was a client-focused release. 7.0 is a server/designer-focused release. 8.0 is a client-focused release.
This is absolutely a 7.0 release. A new data store option alone would be worthy of calling it a major release. The hundreds of other new features (many of which you can't see yet) are a bonus.

I agree with Ed, even if uncomplete for Beta 1, the DB2 backend could be as "revolutionary" as the http/domino support back in R4.5/R5 days...

But therefore the support of db2 should work. I have spent the whole weekend setting it up (db2and d7) only to see the server crash whenever it accessed the db2 component.
Early beta hu....
