RE: V6R1 Info

The confirmation screen has been there for a few releases now. I know I
wrote something about it a while back, check the archives.

I think you might want to give that another read, as I have been reading it
the last month (under non-disclosure), and I found some very cool stuff when
I was reading it.

V6R1 Memo To Users

So i've just read through the whole document.

Looks like there's a lot of things for developers to check. For me,
the most important changes are:

* i5/OS finally ships on DVD. Since i've used Image Catalogs for most
work anyway, it doesn't seem that big of a change. But having to deal
with 2-4 instead auf 10-15 image files will still make it easier.

* Looks like most stuff was finally rebranded. Everything's now called
System i

* System i Access FINALLY has a halfway decent installer, based on MSI
Technology. Maybe it will even support Vista properly now?

* It's now possible to share optical drives. I'm not exactly certain
on what that all entails, but it looks nice

* There's now a confirmation screen for PWRDWNSYS. I could've used
that one a year ago ;)

Otherwise, i didn't see much that seems to be interesting to me. So,
what do the rest of you guys think?
