I simply cannot see how IBM or any other ISV's will not challenge this. It clearly is not what IBM intended, and other ISV's could lose revenue if customers buy specialty engines, and reduce GP's. Or worse yet, ISV's will just start charging you for capacity based on ZxxP's along with GP's, thereby nullifying the benefit of ZxxP's.
I for one, will pop up by bag of popcorn, and kick back and watch this movie from the sidelines..... _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
