I was at a talk Frank Soltis gave last year or the year before and he made
the statement that Windows would be ported to POWER architecture within (I
think it was 18) months after 64 bit Windows was GA'ed.  

So how long has 64 bit Windows been out?  6 months?

This remains the "golden bullet" for the I/E/400 machines.

They can do it(already have in labs) but I suspect they have
held back on this for some "other" reasons....

If they can put Linux and Aix in a little partition, do
you really think Windows(any version) is a real challenge ???

This rumor of running Windows "native" has been around
as long I can remember and frankly I don't know why IBM
has resisted this for so long...

But  ....just think how many desk tops would be replaced
by one server in most shops...

Can you imagine how much revenue IBM gets from selling
PC's and the required support in the larger instalations ???

Soooo, is Windows on a single server a good idea ????
