Re: Happy i5/OS 2008?

that cause confusion?

From a user (end or technical) perspective, is there any difference?

And no, I call it i5/OS, no matter whether it runs on AS/400, iSeries, i5 or
System i.

Right ... but won't that cause confusing when it's running on a Power 6
or Power 7 processor? The '5' refers to Power 5, after all. Shouldn't
it be renamed to "i6/os' or "i7/os"?

Personally, I would have been a lot happier if they just called "i/os".
