About a year ago I was looking into the integrated server and I ruled it out (hell, even the IBM sales reps ruled it out). For the price it was charged, you could buy something 5 -10 times as powerful from a quality vendor. As another email mentioned an advantage would be remote reboots. By PCAnywhere and remote connect via the network and reboot it. Win2K has the administrative terminal server. Connect that way and reboot. I do not see how it lowers support costs since you still need soemone that know Windows to do anythig with it. Just because it is on iSeries hardware does not mean it is not Windows. Windows has stability issues no matter what hardware it is on. Granted using better and HCLed hardware helps it, but it has its own native issues.
