All it takes is programming. As a friend used to say, "Given enough time
and bananas, anything is possible."

Subject: z/VM 5.4 Workloads
This is an interesting bullet in the announcement:
Moving selected Linux, Windows(r), and UNIX(r) workloads to a
single System z server: Moving workloads while maintaining distinct
server images and current LAN topology can help reduce
systems-management complexity. By managing large server farms deployed
on virtual servers instead of using multiple hardware servers, the
number of real hardware servers and associated physical LANs may be
reduced, which may lead to cost savings. Deploying Linux workloads on
z/VM V5.4 may be particularly attractive if they interact with
applications or data located on the same System z server.
Is IBM pre-announcing the ability to run Windows programs on
System z?
:-)

I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one
has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead
of theories to suit facts.
