Steve,

Do you know that this group comprises primarily System i proponents and
evangelists? Promoting a server that is inferior is rather inappropriate for
this forum. I suggest you find a new audience.

ITJungle reports the p6 servers will be launched on monday.

"...System i servers based on Power6 and running i5/OS V5R4 and/or
V5R5 are not expected until late 2007 or early 2008. The i5/OS and
OS/500 base will have to make do with Power5+ machines and i5/OS V5R4
software until that time. ..."

too bad though, we have to wait. A 7000 CPW i615 would be a great
system. No need for efficient RPG, with its various string data types.
You could run pure Java business applications on such a system.
