I loaded 8.0.2 on my laptop yesterday. The upgrade went smoothly although I'm still amazed it takes 10 minutes and the progress bar goes across like 50 times.
I'm having a small issue with the integrated Sametime. I'm noticing that the floating ST buddy list window (as in the R7 client) keeps loading. The integrated version also is connecting.
I'm getting the following error in the status bar:
You cannot use IBM Workplace instant messaging because Notes is already logged on to the IBM Lotus Sametime server.
What? "IBM Workplace instant messaging"?? Hey IBM, I think you need to scrub your error messages a little better.
Anyway, my upgrade was from 8.0.1, but I also noticed the old, floating buddy list window is still popping up on upgrades from 7.0.3.

Floating buddy list? So are you using the Basic version? The Standard version shouldn't have that at all. Although the error would definitely seem to be one from an eclipse-based plugin.
You may want to uninstall and reinstall to see if that helps. Also,
go to Defraggler.com and
use it to defrag your Notes Data folder. After I install 8.0.2,
there are over 2,000 fragmented files in the Lotus/Notes
folder...
With 8.0.2 Standard, I can login and open my mail within 15
seconds.
I think I have found what is causing this. A thread over in the ND8 forum http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/41bb575a239ccc10852574b20043de27?OpenDocument
shed some light on it. Apparently if you have a Sametime server
defined in your location doc then it will launch the floating buddy
list. It sets a notes.ini variable $USE_ST_IM=1.
Once I removed the ST server from the location docs this variable
was set to 0, and the floating buddy list no longer appeared upon
launch.
