Re: V6R1

Lukas - you do NOT have to have your own machine - you did not apparently see the options Michael put in there - we are using one of IBM's machines to do this - yes, we are in the States, but it sounds like that is not a problem - the ISV Innovation Centers are there for all partners, apparently.

IBM folks did all the installs of V6R1 - even the latest driver for early ship.

So try option 2 or 3 that Michael listed, please.

Okay, this is contradictory to the information i've received from my
bosses, but i'm assuming that you know more about that than them :)

But here's a big question:

Why does this not work easier?

If you want to test WS2008, you just click on this link:

If you went to test V6R1, you have to jump through hoops, send mails,
wait for physical media, try to organize an old machine capable of
running V6R1 very slowly, etc.
