From: Michael Ryan
And those are all reasons why i sales are through the roof, and the
industry trend is to move away from Linux/UNIX/Windows and to i.

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm, there? Therein lies the irony, and the rub. We
have people in our local user group who are considering migrating their
applications to Linux. They site cost as an incentive. At least TPM extends
himself to compare "supported" versions of Linux and open-source DB products to
IBM i, under the rationale that most organizations would license supported
versions.. Supported versions cost $. Seems like a reasonable comparison. But
my concern is that TPM throws in the extra $250/user under IBM i, which gives
them a robust set of desktop and server interfaces that can't be matched under
Linux, if I understand correctly.
