Brian, One would think so wouldn't it? Perhaps we shall see what Al Zollar has to say at the next iSeries nation chat on the 24th? What irks me is that the last Gartner bit I read talked about the iSeries competition being from mostly from Windows and Linux. Huh, you think the big whigs would ever pit the iSeries against those platforms in a favorable light? Let's let the xSeries compete, let's let Linux compete. iSeries? Nah. &^%$ (*&*&$#.

Doesn't this new marketing campaign for the xSeries just further obfuscate the message of the iSeries? Integrated, adaptable, reliable, Linux for SMB; aren't these the same talking points used for the iSeries? The big differentiator here appears to be "low-cost" and "minimal investment". http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/solutions/linux/integrated/xseries.html http://www-916.ibm.com/press/prnews.nsf/jan/8BE307AF6D05C55985256D0400663A57 </RANT>
