RE: AIX - i5/OS feature comparison was the notorious Steve's soapbox

Why do you think that is Steve? What makes IBM price the i5 higher then
other systems? Do you think they are doing it because they want to lose
market share and drive you out of work?

Do you really think price is based on (perceived) value? Price is

based on

what the market will bear.


Windows, Linux, Sun, Mac - all priced about the same.  i5/OS is the
