IBM eServer iSeries i5 is the current excessively long name.  I
consider
it as follows:

IBM - Brand
eServer - Product line
iSeries - Model line
i5 - Model 

Thus, IBM can still call it the iSeries when it rolls to the i6, i7,
etc. so we retain that form of branding.  Unfortunately, the OS looks
to
be getting a new name fairly frequently assuming they rename to i6/OS,
etc. as time goes by.

Subject: eServer iSeries or i5?

OK, I didn't attend common, but I'm reading my copy of Insider Weekly
and I see some Q&As from the Town Hall meeting. So, 
 
Q: How do we educate about name change, everyone calls it an AS/400.
A: "... iSeries is the name, so correct everyone..." -- Peter
Bingaman,
VP Marketing, IBM Somers
 
Hmmmm, but I thought the new new name was i5, so off to
ibm.com/iseries
I go and the top of the page says "Midrange Servers: iSeries", but the
title of the page says "IBM Midrange Servers - eServer i5 and
iSeries",
the Featured topics section starts "IBM eServer iSeries is a
premier...", but the green "Consolidation without disruption" case
study
above that section says "IBM eServer i5 helps..." 
 
So, what IS the name of the box? Are there two boxes? Peter seems to
be
rather sure that it's an iSeries, but I'm not sure the rest of IBM is
under the same opinion.
