Re: Re: Power 11 and software vendors?

Richard,
That is a good question.  Like the Burger King analogy "we make burgers"
does that vendor just want to concentrate on their line of business?  If
your business model is not to help customers to set up machines does having
your own machine on site help you?  Likely not.  Even if it is, does having
an out of date model running a single LPAR of IBM i with maybe Lan Console
help you with a customer with multiple LPAR machine with VIOS and a HMC?
Likely not.
Getting vendors current on releases and hardware so they can support me
going to IBM i 7.6 is like trying to pull teeth from an unsedated tiger.
I'm starting to think that many of them would be better off on cloud.
