Far be it from me to want to intentionally give Steve any more ammo for his
cannon, but here's a little piece that really pisses me off.  It's an IBM
Redpaper entitled "Powering SOA with IBM Data Servers".  If you read the
abstract below, you'll see NO mention of the System i or of i5/OS.  Nor is
there anything in the entire 754 page Redpaper, either.

It's possible that we're left out because this is all due to cool DB2 V9
features, but I guess I don't understand why those features are available
for z/OS and not for i5/OS.

Abstract 
Flexibility in business has become equal in importance with operational
efficiency. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) can help businesses respond
more quickly and cost-effectively to the changing market conditions by
promoting reuse and interconnection of existing IT assets rather than
time-consuming and costly reinvention.

SOA has been the top fashionable topic in IT for a few years now. This is
because there is a consensus of opinions among enterprise architects that
SOA is the key to making the IT department a catalyst for growth and
innovation.

This IBM Redbook helps you get started with SOA by showing the
implementation of the minimum requirements: The creation of Web services
that allow access to data that is stored in data servers or applications and
the realization of interaction services for business to consumer
integration. The data servers included in our scenario are DB2 for z/OS, DB2
for Linux, UNIX and Windows, Informix Dynamic Server and IMS.

This redbook is a roadmap showing how SOA can significantly improve the IT
business value.
