Was on the V6R1 Infocenter today - just horrible.

How do IBM justify a complete rewrite of IC every release? The cost has to be exorbitant. Better applied to development tools that can be had for less. I just read something by a Joel Spolsky - about complementary products that help sell a product - if complementary products get cheaper, you sell more of your main item. In this case, development tools are complementary to the box - make it easier and cheaper to develop and you'll sell more boxes. That was the secret of the original AS/400, right? All the applications?

OK - rant is over!
