Hi,

I've been rambling about the prices of the new POWER6 machines in
other threads, without having definite POWER6 before me.
I find this very interesting. Basically, if the disks and memory were priced competitively, the i would be cheaper. Of course, that insane 5K maintenance is a pain, but that's a different issue.

As for software, I really don't think you can do proper systems development with VS Express. Someone else can chime in. If not, add another 6-7K for VS Professional. Then you have 25K vs 12K. Is i5/OS worth twice Windows? You have to decide that for yourself.
