Jerry,

I see this in a different way:

AS/400 = Windows 95
iSeries = Windows 98 / Windows 2000
(system) i = Windows XP / Windows Vista

So your comparison doesn't make sense: at the M$ side there's still the 
"Windows" part that remains.

No matter what flavor, it's still "Windows".

Which cannot be said for our beloved platform. Or am I mistaken?

Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch






Does anyone know of anyone using Windows XP but refers to it as Windows 
95? 

The same with our system. 

AS/400 = Win95
iSeries = Win98/2000
i5 = XP/Vista

If we can adapt to what M$ calls its products, and since change is an 
inherent part of our culture as IT pros, it shouldn't be difficult to 
assimilate to i5.
