You forgot to ask a facetious question about a 25% increase in i5/os market share.

Actually, falling market share for i5/os is the thing that concerns me the most, but it does more harm than good to harangue IBM, business partners, and customers about it. If you want to leave the platform, why not leave it alone?

My investment in the platform is a tiny drop in the bucket. But I think the platform has great intrinsic value and potential. So I won't be leaving. I think that i5/os is the best platform for Web applications and Web services, so I'll continue to invest in them. I hope we see more of those types of workloads moved to the platform.
