Sure, you could do that. Adam Thornton did it on an MP3000 a decade ago. Performance was...suboptimal :-) And John McKown wrote: > And Mantissa is still taking, a bit, about z/VOS which run Windows under >z/VM. I think it is an emulator / JIT type process. Basically, yes: http://www.mainframezone.com/it-management/windows-and-other-x86-operating-systems-on-system-z But I'm quite sure IBM isn't talking about emulation. That doesn't make any sense for them. I'm sure they're talking about zBX, because the pre-announce user group discussions all mentioned System x and now it's "not until next year". So the next question is, "Will that be Linux on x or Windows?" -- ...phsiii Phil Smith III ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
