Re: midrange modernization tour question

Joe,

You are screaming anti-Microsoft sentiment. Chicken Little did the same.
If the iSeries is to continue to grow as the server of choice, we need to know where all the technologies fit. You claim it is the most open system... therefore we have attracted the attention of Microsoft.
If you think Microsoft really wants to remove and replace the iSeries, screaming and shouting about the "evils" of Microsoft will not stop them. The best way is to determine where they fit, integrate them, move Window servers into the i5, and adapt to this new world. Your rhetoric is simply noise and is no more effective than "nyeh nyeh n boo boo".
Education and information are the best tools. Showing how the iSeries is the best server, and how it does integrate with everything else, including Microsoft is going to be our best defense in maintaining the future of our platform. 

Trevor
P.S. I appreciate your continued investment in this thread. It is intriguing to me how the both of us are pro-iSeries, but our views are different.

Joe...

The sky is not falling.


Is this supposed to mean something?  How about addressing the questions?

Once again, just to drive the point home (and then I'm gonna get out of
this silliness and do some real work):

Every single person posting in favor of this tour has had something in
common: they avoid my questions and instead retort with bandwidth
wasting comments like the one above.

Are these the people you want to trust your mission critical systems to?
