I must have been too busy still getting work done with MVS:-) Anyway some interesting sound bites. Probably talking about number of companies using the various products. I.e. at one time, all major and most smaller shops were IBM mainframe shops. They'd run some derivative of OS/360 (VS1, MVS, ...) or DOS (VSE). I never heard of the UNIX wave for commercial shops. Now, many smaller shops are using Windows as their main computing platform (hope they have GOOD firewalls and virus protection!). The avante garde (again smaller shops) are now getting more into Linux. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

Over the years, he observed, the fundamental computing paradigm has shifted from MVS, to Unix, and then to Microsoft Windows. ... Linux is the next big opportunity. HUH? I missed that shift... I must have been too busy still getting work done with MVS:-) Take that with the appropriate sized grain of salt, but more and more things are going to start showing up on Linux. Ubiquity and cost are good reasons to favor Linux as the server of choice for -managing- IT resources. CCL is just the tip of the iceberg. As Jim Porell says; z/OS is deaf and blind, but it's the best platform for secure data-intensive applications. Why should we bust our asses reinventing z/OS capabilities on Linux (or any other platform) and at the same time, why reinvent Linux on z/OS? Both have a role to play. They already work well together and together they are significantly greater than the sum of their parts.

During his first month on the job at Novell, Dr. Jeffrey ('Jeff') Jaffe
has roved the globe, culling ideas from his new colleagues about company
strategy around Linux and open source in 2006 and future years to come.
'It's important to get a hearing of ideas. We can then choose which ideas
fit best with where the market is going with open source,' according to
Jaffe, a former IBM and Lucent exec recently named to the newly created
post of CTO/EVP at Novell.
I'd like to know if Novell's Dr. Jeff Jaffe is related to ibm-main's own Ed

Not that I know of. But we know almost nothing of the Jaffe family
history prior to my paternal grandfather's immigration from Russia to
the United States.
