John,

No, your question is a VERY valid one. Frankly, I hope COMMON grows a pair
and brings SOUNDOFF BACK to opening session! Since Al's passed, nobody can
complain about him monopolizing it anymore...and it's a good time to ask ole
Ross why the heck we're still seeing AIX in IBM marketing but NO i...unless
it's time for COMMON...

Further adding to your question is why does IBM **INSIST** on equating
"POWER" systems with AIX and yet expects everyone else to say that that
Power is a heterogeneous environment? I offer as immediate concern they're
recent series of ads in which they arrogantly presume that Power-7 is going
to eclipse Sun/Oracle...notice at the bottom of EACH advert that IBM is
saying that Power is the preferred hardware for unix (AIX in their case).
ABSOLUTELY NO mention of i.

Does anyone have any clue how many i/os systems are now under support? I'm
hearing the number is shockingly small...and I'm having a hard time with the
number that I'm being given...but it would further reflect IBM's intentional
product mix choices...

Trevor, could you remind me why I should be promoting an architecture
that IBM won't even promote? (Sorry - that was a unfair jab - I'll
take it back tomorrow)
