There are many more shops using AIX alone - that is the audience I'm talking about. It is a growing market as IBM consimes more and more of HP and Sun's market share.

We want to help all users of the Power platform - even those who don't use the best OS!

It seems the AIX intro to COMMON is more about keeping COMMON alive
than trying to facilitate meeting the need of a new group. If I had
to guess I would say there are many more AS400 shops using Windows
servers than AIX - but maybe I just come into contact with the
minority.

One point on the below: AIX. First of all, IBM is firmly behind the
unification of the platform, so this is a high priority for them. Aligning
with IBM makes their support much easier, albeit it is not what it once was
just because of budgets.

More importantly, this is a huge segement of the Power systems market. If
we could get even half the attendees to the IBM Technical conference that
attend for AIX, we wouldn'r be in such a dire straits. There is the
conference, but there is noreal group like COMMON for AIX. We can offer
much to this community just as we have offered to the i community (and all
the other platforms we discussed from 1960 on).
