The Windows and Linux versions share Java and Eclipse code, but that's about it. I also just read in the Notes support forums that the installer unpacks two seperate and distinct JREs! It gets even better - Notes 8.0 is impressively messy in where it wants to install files. Not everything goes in a user's directory. It's quite a messy application. The again, the only reason why I use it is because my company uses it as their mail application (and some of them think its great...
