The more CPW there is the more feature rich and call stack deep can be the software that programmers write for the system. IBM is doing a good job hardware and system operation wise. And I like the name also. i5 is nice and crisp. better than iSeries and as400. I do think the system would be more successful if pricing was per user instead of being CPW based. As it is, code that is cpu intensive such as an xml based database or sql procedures that return result sets instead of output parameters will be more expensive to run on the i5 than standard as400 code is. -Steve
