My following of the JDE OneWorld (the C/S product) mailing lists shows a
lot of companies spending a lot of time and money trying to get OneWorld
working, and also keeping it working.

A lot of World (AS/400) customers were not looking forward to being forced
off the AS/400 into a unstable product running on unstable platforms.

JDE financial position is not one such that JDE should be ticking-off their
loyal AS/400  customers, perhaps forcing them to move to another company's
product, rather than another JDE product.  It seems they have finally
realized this.
