Hi Steve

By saying "used to be" are you implying that the iSeries is no longer "solid" and "consistent" whereas Microsoft software is ?

When was it ever accepted that proprietary code was a bad thing?  The
open source community is a awash in incompatibilities.  The
incompatiblity between PHP and Java being the one I think is very
important.   An enterprise pays a little extra to MS, in return is
received a very solid and consistent way of doing things. Basically
the way the AS400 used to be.
