Ted, Just because *you* aren't seeing them does not mean others are not. My MIPS have been increasing and my charges, at worst, are holding their own year over year. Keep that room in the tower, Timothy!

VWLC means a lot of DB2 customers have seen their monthly license charges decrease (around about Version 7 for most shops I think, depending on when their last OS/390 LPAR disappeared and when they cut the first SCRT reports). The zIIP technology is another reason you might see a decrease in DB2 MLC starting with Version 8. Timothy! Timothy! Get out of your ivory tower and stop drinking the Kool-aid. We are not seeing any of these so-called price reductions! We are seeing longer transaction times. So, our prices are going up! On a cost-per-butt basis, it's still cheaper. But, the costs are non-zero. Therefore, they are going up!
