RE: IBM & Microsoft

I heard the same thing. It was just really interesting seeing all these
Microsoft folks touting our platform on camera.

What I had been told was that MS used AS/400s for accounting systems and
that they spun off that part of the organization as its own company that
still does all the accounting for MS and they still use iSeries but since it
was no longer MS they could say they stopped using them.

I wish. It is a very well guarded video, and I would not divulge in this
forum how I saw it as that would put someone in an uncomfortable position,
but I believe it to be around 12 years old or so. Gates spoke to the
platforms great security and other things.

If anyone wants to discuss further offline, that would be cool.

I'm not sure how politically correct this question is, but here goes:

Has anyone on this list, other than myself, ever seen the approximately
20 minute video featuring Microsoft employee's (including I think Gates)
touting their use of AS/400's at Redmond?
