IBM's Sametime Goes 3-D

Just a thought, why would ANYONE really want to use this? I mean seriously, the example they give would/should never happen. If the person is responsible for swapping hardware then they should know exactly what needs to be done. If they don't then they shouldn't be doing it.

I don't know about IBM but I would never let anyone who didn't know how to replace a component in a rack anywhere NEAR my servers.

kleinbradham is right, they should spend time developing to make it not suck.

I think you missed the point, in the example, the guy has questions about the server configuration, not about installing the hardware.

And despite your opinions on the real "IT" world, this is a common question to ask.

However, i agree with you that this system sucks, and the practicalities of actually using such a system outweigh its benefits.

Wouldn't a video system work better? creating 3D assets to demonstrate such a trivial thing would be a pain in the ass. What company would bother?

second life i play it

OR... just keep the online documentation up-to-date and easily searchable. That would be cheaper and easier to implement.

Amazing. Really shows the potential of 3D Chat software to solve real life problems.

I work for IBM. I think that Lotus should spend more time trying to make Lotus Notes not "suck so much" and less time making video game interfaces.

Can you imagine the $millions lost while imployees tweak their avitars.

Yeh ... funny how everyone at IBM hates notes!

I don't work there any more but alas, my new job also requires notes :-(

ST is not so bad but it's just another IM client, as if we don't have enough.

Ya needs loads of RAM to run. I guess most IBMers dont even use the latest version of notes or sametime. Most of them use web version or when nothing else is running !!!

Nicely done.

This is so exciting - combining it all !
