RE: SEU vs. ?

Booth,
Nobody ever claimed IBM was clever, just greedy.
But I think what IBM is saying is that "Hey, we see you already have a Chevy
350, 4 barrel in your garage, how about we sell you this brand new car
without an engine and you us the one you have?"

James, the message I am getting from Scott is that IBM is requiring their
customers to use Windows in order to use iSeries.  He (and many others I am
sure) feel that IBM is not doing itself any favors by tying the iSeries to
Redmond's product lines.  
 
How long would Ford be in business if you had to go to the Chevrolet dealer
to get your engine before you could drive your new Ford out of the Ford
dealers dooryard?
