I realize it is not a completely transparent 'load it and go' situation, but to continually state that the i5/OS does not run on System p hardware, is IMO somewhat misleading. For those interested in learning about what is available:

Eric,

The trend towards hardware platform consolidation has been long in the
making...

I dont understand what the holdup is with i5/OS running on
consolidated hardware. Ian Jarman says there is no technical or
performance reason i5/OS cannot run on the p5. But he says customers
dont want it ( which again I dont understand because the p5 is sold in
the blade config that i5 customers say they want ).

Waiting until 2008 for the power6 on system i will hurt system i sales
in the meantime, right?
