I'm guilty too, I've whined and complained, and now I repent! :)I _think_ that with the "system i" they (finally) got it right, --IF-- we "faithful"--who have the most to gain--- cooperate. At least it deserves a chance, because it _looks_ like a genuine improvement. And now there's the iSociety thing, a group committed to the success of the best business computing platform, the new and improved system i, independent of the corporate constraints of IBM.
Look, People have no problem at all with this and here's proof. First there was DOS. Then, there was the Mac and the Mac/OS. Then, there was Windows 3.1 Then there was Windows 95. Then there was Windows 98. .....(and Windows 98 Home Edition, Professional, etc.) Then Windows Millenium Edition. Then Windows NT. Then Windows 2000. Then Windows CE.Then Windows XP. (...XP Home edition, XP Professional, XP blah blah and a few others...)
Then Windows Vista. And you guys complain! Well now we get: system i, AS400 system i, iSeries system i, i5.Real complicated? I think it's fantastic that IBM's techs have kept our systems upgrade-compatible meaning take your program from a release several generations back and run it on the latest one without worrying about an infinite power-up power-down cycle like happened when I bought my first PC with XP.
It'll take time, but we can reduce the confusion faster by adapting. Alan
