Mr. Richter's prejudices not withstanding, I've known Neil Palmer for many
years. He is a straight shooter.

FWIW i never hang my hat on anything said at IT Jungle. too many times
have i looked at their viewpoint/stance and found it to be total hogwash.
IMO no one should give them any credence whatsoever. should they start
writing *good* credible articles i'll start listening...

Thanks,
Tommy Holden

ibm i development budget



Neil Palmer writes in ITJungle this week:
"...I really want to believe that there is a "next 20 years" as Mark said
at
COMMON, but looking back at the past year, we've seen the i5/OS
development
budget progressively chopped from around $130 million to around $28
million.
..."

http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh050508-story04.html

Is that accurate? $28 million budgeted for working on enhancements to the
base OS? Does that number include bug fixes and PTFs?

With that kind of a limited budget, I question if there will be a v6r2.
