RE: What's in a name? (not so PRIVATE REPLY)

I think you'd see a flavor of 64-bit Windows for Power on System i long before 
you ever saw i5/OS running on Intel.  The real issue is third-party hardware 
and software that does not rigidly comply with the design standards for the 
platform.  i5/OS is solid because the vendor excercises complete control over 
hardware and software that may be used on the system.

jmo,
Eric

Go on, you didn't finish the list....

An iSeries runs OS/400 (or the i5/OS flavor), or Linux, or AIX...  Now,
what point were you making? <g>

Just checking,
Eric

Well...the issue here is that a Dell box can run Windows (different
flavors) or Linux or UNIX or BSD or...

An iSeries runs OS/400 (you know what I mean).

Mark,

System i covers the platform. In our case, this includes the server and

the

OS. This differentiates us from other platforms. Using 'System i' covers
AS/400, iSeries, i5 and OS/400, i5OS, i6OS (if that is next). Using

System i

reduces the confusion and keeps the differentiation.

I understand your idea, but think we should be bigger than our OS.

Hi, Trevor:

I did not say "naming the server" ... I said, "refer to the platform".
   Big difference.

Just like how most people do not say that they are running an HP
Pavilion or Compaq DeskPro, they say they are running "Windows XP" or
"Windows 2000" or just a "Windows PC."

Now do you "get it"?

Cheers,

Mark
