Pete,

Don't hold back now. Don't sit on the fence. Tell me
what you really think of my article. Apparently
denial isn't just a river in Egypt. ;-)

For those wanting clarification on the budget numbers
I quoted (obtained from some unimpeachable sources in
IBM - who strangely probably would be impeached if
their identities were known) the $28 million that was
left last year was for total i5/OS development &
maintenance. Barely enough to keeps the lights on in
Rochester.

for IBM to not open source IBM i under these circumstances is just
terrible. By starving the system of improvements they are destroying
peoples careers.

you also have to question the ITJungle and Systemi network trade pubs
for not reporting on IBM's underinvestment in IBM i.
