RE: List of large iSeries companies

Joe, this will be my last comment on this so I hope you will actually
read it.

1. As stated previously, Microsoft ran SAP on AS/400s until the early
90s when the company moved the SAP implementation to Windows and SQL.
And yes, the migration was done successfully.  And as a FACT, 65% of all
SAP implementations run on Windows **and** SQL Server.    

2. Neither you nor I have any idea of what software was being used by
Microsoft 10 years ago in a facility which duplicated CDs and shipped
the packages into the channel. I don't know where you get your "data"
that it was outsourced because of a failed migration effort. You have no
proof whatsoever.  

There is nothing to spin here but your unabated and unnatural hate for
anything Microsoft.

Are you saying that all that was running on the AS/400's was something
to
keep track of CD duplication and packaging???  Are you saying there was
NO
attempt to move the AS/400 software to Windows servers???

Oh this gets better by the minute, David.  Spin, baby, spin!
