I am just kidding about our system, but MS is clearly very consistent
and solid.  The new release of .NET is coming Nov of this year and
does not break anything. So you are looking at .NET for the next 5
years being compatible with .NET of the prior 5.

The problem with the native iSeries is IBM says basically to move from
it to Java/Linux.  I am suggesting that instead of moving to Java,
going to .NET is a very good choice.
