Switching to Education for a sec... IBM is pouring lots of cash into the zNextGen project (kudos for that). It seems to this feeble mind that making an affordable (to a college student) System z image, with the appropriate restrictions, as an educational platform, would make a lot of sense (and future cash). Since the technology is already there in zPDT, what would be the issue?

Its use as a training vehicle would be limited to your commercial software developers, though you could use it to demo your product. Bottom line, zPDT is available only to software vendors (ISVs).
