I was only going off the AngusTheChap Chart, but it seems to me that System i5 would fall under System i, wouldn't it? That chart is where I'm seeing System i ran i5/os

I'm not a marketer. Maybe it's fine to list support for a mix of hardware and operating system names (former hardware names and more current o/s names based on your comment about Power systems).

i5 was hardware (as in: IBM System i5) though, i5/OS was software.
(Might be what you're thinking of.)

Using "Power" as a name is probably a bad idea, since (depending on
interpretation) might be unspecific, or might mean that it runs on all of AIX, Linux and IBM i.

Since software is generally designed for a particular operating system (not a particular piece of hardware) it's more appropriate to say "IBM i".

i5 is the OS on the System I, right? So I don't think you can nitpick about that b/c he hadn't listed OS's in what you quoted.
