I don't think our IS department, nor our software, has been gutted and replaced everytime we've done an upgrade. And we've done many over the years. Still running BPCS, Software Plus, whatever the nom du jour of our EDI package is, etc. Have we lost anything? Yes, OV/400. But as much as it vexed me, if you asked around our company I am probably the only one who was upset. All-in-all I think IBM has done an excellent job of preserving my investment in my software. Was I upset by the interactive tax? You betcha. Would I cut off my nose to spite my face and stay on obsolete hardware and software because of that? No. Would I be more impressed by a vendor that supported V2R3 or a vendor who participated in the early ship program? Early ship program - without a doubt. I want someone who's software is going to run on the latest hardware and software. Not someone who is going to be one of the later ones to be compatible.
