Al,

: Is this fair?   No.  But IBM is now taking the position that they
want to
: drop support for unpopular products, which is contrary to the AS/400
value
: proposition.

The AS/400 value proposition ?

Is this for real, or something else made up ?

Despite the AS/400's renowned success in providing backward
compatibility for *customer* written applications, there are many
things IBM should stop working on for the AS/400 (OV being one of
them) as budgets become further stretched, it make sound sense to drop
development of products that consume large amounts of the budget for
little revenue return.
