I tend to agree that CFINT must be a public relations nightmare for IBM and its Business Partners. The idea of a program that does little more than burn cycles sounds like a virus. No wonder people get offended. Maybe the way to solve this negative perception is to remove the governor, and license "Interactive Features" (the software) separately from OS/400. Base the Interactive Features price on the number of active sessions the software must support. IBM may get the same revenue while avoiding the consequences of installing a program that acts like a virus. Of course, that may not solve the problem of iSeries poor price/performance perception.
