IBM apparently doesn't think i is particularly different from i5/OS. In fact, the V6R1 Information Center still calls it i5/OS. As of this month IBM still has not even bothered to search/replace i5/OS with i (see the Memo to Users: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/rzaq9/rzaq9.pdf).
FTM, Info Center still calls the hardware System i when they should be using Power Systems. According to the i home page at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/, "Power Systems including AS/400, iSeries, and System i", Power Systems is the appropriate name for all server hardware running i, and by inference, i5/OS and OS/400.
It's hard to believe the products are new/different when the vendor refuses to use the right names on a consistent basis.
And if I were exploring the i OS and Power Systems hardware for the first time, I would be horribly confused.
