And you want IBM to emulate Microsh*t's example?!?!?  Are you nuts?  I'll
take iSeries stability over any cr*p M$ ships any day.  The only reason M$
is profitable is that it sells patches as OS upgrades, and it has a very
gullible market base that implicitly allows M$ to set standards.  Should IBM
follow that model?  I think not.  <Whoa, nelly, get off the soapbox.

This very interesting topic is miles above my head, but I share Jon's
sentiments expressed yesterday.
