Any thoughts on the powerVM and lx86 stuff?

I5/os finally announced on BladeCenter S chassis.

To me, this is the future of the box. I absolutely can see the idea of a business rules processor on a blade that you can shove into a chassis and that talks to the outside world through RESTful services or stored procedures. Hell, if someone writes a smart enough rules processor, you could download rules off the Internet for a nominal fee. The point will be that the i5/OS blade will process way more transactions than anything else, and with better stability.

RPG and COBOL programmers both could find a long career writing the guts of those machines. They'd in effect be "embedded business rules processors" <grin>.
