Is additional interactive CPW (5250 OLTP??) still a significant
chargeable item?
I thought they ditched that. But sometimes you'll see one thing in the press release and another in the fine print. It seems that IBM's talking points are price parity for hardware, and user-based licensing for software, across the power systems line.
I haven't really dug into the details. But Al Barsa would point out how profitable the "i" was for IBM compared to the "p". So if they're at price parity now, the math would indicate that IBM has less money to put back into "i" - not that they would if they did ;-)
What an irony it would be if all those years they were milking value out of interactive applications and funneling it to Java, if they were to come back now and put it back into a native GUI, after prices (and revenue) have dropped.
