According to MS, back when the AS/400 was proprietary and Wintel was relatively open, proprietary was bad. Now that the iSeries is open and MS is ever more proprietary, open is bad. > An enterprise pays a little extra to MS, in return is > received a very solid and consistent way of doing things. Basically > the way the AS400 used to be. This is exactly what I expect from the Microsoft spin cycle. Including the gall to compare Windows software with OS/400. The problem with this argument is that you have to then compare the quality of Windows to the quality of OS/400, and that's simply not even a comparison. MS has shown consistently that they cannot deliver: they still don't know when they're delivering in the next release, or even what's in it! Joe
