RE: 64 bit Windows...

IBM would withhold things if it meant hurting sales of a different platform they wanted to push harder. At least in some cases a couple years ago, some iSeries benchmarks were not allowed to be published, because the plan seemed to be to promote pSeries more. Server group nonsense, very frustrating. Internal politics. I hope the present situation is better.

I would guess that they've not don't that because they believe that
people who buy iSeries's don't care about TPC benchmarks. At least I
hope that's why. The other option is they don't like the results.

Does anyone believe that if the tests have been run and the results are good that IBM would withold them? Me neither. So either the tests have not been run or the results are not good (my conclusion).
