Maybe its not really SAP that is recommending NT.  It is most likely the
local "business partner" who doesn't know anything about the AS400 or
probably unix.  My guess is that if you ask them what problems they have
encountered doing AS400 or unix installs you will find that they have
never even tried any.

BTW who cares if NT has "more" software offerings since you can only run
one application per server anyway !

If you want another app that is on NT you will most likely have to buy
another server anyway.  Look in the information Week July 20th issue for
a good article on "The Hidden Costs of NT."  This article actually
mentions the AS400 without the word "Legacy" in the same sentence!
