RE: [BULK] RE: 64 bit Windows...

["Jones, John \(US\)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Numbers?

Adoption: 2nd largest deployment platform for Domino.

Usage: Most of the Fortune 500 + thousands of SMBs.  Successful enough
to keep many ISVs in business although I'll granted that few are truly
huge companies like SAP.

Market Longevity: 25+ years going back to the S/36. Predates Windows
1.0, MS-DOS, and the original IBM PC.  How much longer do you need?

Exactly. Now taking what you just wrote, go look the numbers. OS/400
isn't, and will never be, mainstream.
