Re: George Farr declares feature specific pricing on horizon for WDSC

I wonder what would happen if IBM decided to price PDM separately, and bundle WDSC in the developer package. Could there be business logic for this? There certainly is precedent: check the pricing strategy of repair parts on automobiles as a model moves through its life cycle.

First the interactive hardware tax, now an interactive development tax. Green screen is not popular somewhere in IBM's management ranks. I'm sorry, but paying extra money above and beyond what we already pay for 5722-WDS in order to develop applications that run in an interactive subsystem is indeed an interactive development tax.
