Re: Any thoughts on the PowerVM and lx86 announcement?

What was interesting about today's announcement call was that it was
CLEARLY
p-series and AIX and Blade centric with iSeries as an "also ran"... The
guy
that ran it (VP of Power) is from pSeries and really treated it as more
p-series than I...REALLY A SHAME that they didn't take the opportunity to
push iSeries(or whatever Trevor wants to call it :) more than they did in
this call...



this part is cool. the system console has to be a Windows PC:

"...i5/OS on POWER blade uses Operations Console (LAN) for a system console.
This is the only option. LAN console necessitates having a PC (initially on
the same subnet as i5/OS) with the System i Access for Windows software. The
same PC can be used for the browser connection to IVM.
