Cross-posted to midrange-l and WDSC-l.

I wanted to order V6R1 last week (which would have included the RDI stuff, at a cost), but the BP convinced me to wait because there was to be an IBM announcement concerning RDI on 10/28.

I have not seen the announcement myself (the BP cannot even find it), but you can now *upgrade* from WDSC to RDI at a 40% discount. Instead of $795 it's $477.

Since I wanted RDI-SOA for future reasons, I asked for the informal quote using RDI-SOA. Guess what. There's no discount for RDI-SOA, it's still $1995. This is what the BP rep was told when he called in to the mothership about RDI pricing.

So let me get this right. We can *upgrade* from WDSC to RDI, but not from WDSC to RDI-SOA. With IBM pushing EGL, that doesn't make sense to me. A 40% discount of $1995 would be $1197. So do the IBM marketing folks want us to use EGL or not? Am I not understanding something correctly?

The BP rep is going to issue the formal quote through the system and that might tell us more.

This is a heads up for the price reduction to RDI.
