Not so sure, after the initial "rush" in 2003-4 to put everything back on the mainframe, common sense has set in.
While the idea of putting the tamagotchi's under z/VM is a good one - from all points of view. I have quite a few customers who have migrated away from z/Linux and z/VM. The reason - the 390 CPU engine is too weak to handle all of that new-fangled Java, Websphere etc. If you are not CPU-bound and the business is I/O oriented, nothing better. Maybe we will have to wait (not so long) for Power PC for zSeries.
