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.
