RE: i5OS running as a VM on PC

From: Jones, John (US)

The idea is that each user (or student class or other grouping) gets
their own LPAR. They are free to IPL and do other things as they wish.
If they royally much it up IBM will restore from the last backups (1
free restore per year; additional ones cost some marginal fee).

<snipping a lot of other relevant details>

John, this is a great idea. It would cost IBM one big honking server (some
of which they could mark as a charitable expense if they did it right, but I
digress). The support costs would be offset by the fees. A base price of
less than your monthly DSL or cable service would put it in the right
ballpark.

Anyone see why this wouldn't work?

Joe
