Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I am wondering if there is a balance where Microsoft works well for
smaller to small-medium businesses, but then just doesn't make as much
sense once you get to medium to large?  I will be the first to raise
my hand and say that trying to get a business up and running on an IBM
i is like pulling teeth - unless you have a big bank account (and then
sometimes even that can't help you).

If IBM could only get their act together to offer low cost IBM i LPARs
in the cloud I think more people would start using it, and that would
inherently have many great affects.
