Re: Software Vendors (And US too) - A small rant

IMHO adding 'on Power Systems' leverages that brand recognitions and clarifies for the unknowing that it doesn't run on inferior technology. Given the incredible benefits we got from merging System i and System p into POWER that's worth mentioning. Do I do it every time? Of course not, mostly IBM i stands alone.

Doesn't "IBM i on POWER systems" imply either limitation "IBM i only
runs on POWER systems, nothing else", or the possibility of IBM i on
other hardware, but it's somehow different? "IBM i on AMD systems"?

Do I have to say "Windows on Intel", "Ubuntu on AMD", "Android on
Snapdragon"?

Going farther afield, "Camry on Toyota chassis", "F150 on Ford"?

Anything wrong with just "IBM i"?
