Chuck,

we (the IT department) investigated the SAP platforms S/390, AS/400, UNIX
and NT. We voted because of
technical advantages for AS/400. But SAP does not understand that we take
anything else but NT into consider!

The reasons are very simple:

1.) NT is cheap
2.) NT's performance is enough (we plan 450 users)
3.) NT is the mainstream (everyone goes NT). SAP sells more than 50% on NT!

If you talk to a NT representative you will hear much of goodies that will
come in the future (when wolfpack is available
NT will be very high available) and things of other systems that were bad
in the past (TCP/IP on AS/400 had much of
problems some years ago).

Everytime you have an technical argument that votes against NT you will
hear an answer like:

_So much people are working on it: In the near future it won't be a problem
any more_

Tomorrow we receive an AS/400 S30 as an aducation and test machine on an
try+by basis. I hope it does a godd
job and we can stay on this platform

Greetings
