This remains the "golden bullet" for the I/E/400 machines.

They can do it(already have in labs) but I suspect they have
held back on this for some "other" reasons....

If they can put Linux and Aix in a little partition, do
you really think Windows(any version) is a real challenge ???

This rumor of running Windows "native" has been around
as long I can remember and frankly I don't know why IBM
has resisted this for so long...

But  ....just think how many desk tops would be replaced
by one server in most shops...

Can you imagine how much revenue IBM gets from selling
PC's and the required support in the larger instalations ???

Soooo, is Windows on a single server a good idea ????

Is this just rumor or is there any documented substance to this?  All I saw
in the webcast was xSeries integrated server technologies (read: Intel
inside i5 or cabled to i5).

A true native Windows partition would be a "deal saver" for many of our
customers gravitating to .Net.  If we can do "both, and" on the i5, running
Windows like we can Linux does in an LPAR, that would be perfect.
