Joe,

I agree that point, Rational not getting any money from iSeries tool sales (ie
5722WDS) is probably the jist of the problem which IBM needs to fix. The
companies owning the iSeries have already bellied up to the bar enough
considering the platform isnt cheap and software maintenance fees are large as
well. Maybe IBM can reformat the way the dollars flow within thier company
where everyone can come out happy but I'm not holding my breath:).

Joe,

I have to say this is a first but I'm on the other side on this one as
well. I just got off the phone with an IBM client services rep and told
him the following:

"Give the developer tools away and you will promote the platform"

You mean you don't want the System i to kick in ANY money for the
development of WDSC? I'm pretty happy with tossing some money from 5722WDS
over the wall to the Rational group, but I'm pretty confident that the idea
of giving them NO money won't fly.
