But my recollection is the prices [for ADTS vs RDi] weren't

Interesting. I wonder how many folks came to IBM i for the first time
at 6.1 or later, and so didn't receive any special deals. I wonder
what that group of customers bought.

They also offer a trade-up from ADTS to RDi
for a decent discount. For us, as well as many shops, we had a lot more
ADTS seats than we would ever need. So we've traded up several ADTS
licenses to acquire RDi seats.

Damn. It's likely we would have qualified for that too.

IBM said they were unbundling things so they could see where
the revenue went and allocate development resources accordingly.

OK. I don't know if that's just hot air on IBM's part, but at least I
can understand this. I wonder if it's been long enough for them to
see where the revenue went.
