I got that email as well. I guess with the p and i merging, hardware-wise, they don't see a distinction between "Servers". Or, it could be something completely unrelated. I also got a notification that they pulled our system i hardware reseller status although I can't say that is it has anything more to do than us not selling enough in the past year.

So now we won't have a ServerProven certification for our software or a way to sell hardware. Sounds like an IBM formula for success for i to me.......

What's the deal with this? Did I miss something before. They just had me
renew my serverproven status. :)
