Wow! Did you miss the point.I have MANY customers running at 100CPW or close. Their applications are feature RICH, and they need only a little more CPW - just a server modernization for new features. To suggest they should depart the platform is ludicrous. With a server that will run their original AS/400 applications, and can also get them to the web without having to add servers, etc, they will be able to run their SMB business for years to come.

-----Original Message-----a 400 CPW system i? gosh, I hope that does not happen. Much better to let the p5 folks market the system. That way you would have a system p5 that can run Linux, AIX and i5/OS. The p5 marketers get better results than the i5 crew. CPW pricing does not work. p5 user based pricing sells more systems and gives developers a more standardized system, horsepower wise, to target.( the more CPU there is the more features can be put into the application. An application written to run on a chintzy 400 CPW system will have less features than one that runs in a 3800 CPW partition. If the i5 has both 400 and 3800 CPW models, applications will be written to the lowest common denominator, the 400 CPW system. The result is feature starved applications. )-Steve
