How many years? Well, I know a banking company which moves off mainframe. 10 years. They even claimed success, but... But still all the processing is being done on mainframe. And the money is spent on Windows servers. Hundreds. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland

Year 15 of the 3 year plan to move off the mainframe. Seems like I've heard that before. Oh yes, it will save us "x" amount of dollars. Of course we're going to spend 45 times the projected savings to get there, but that comes out of a different budget item so it's okay.
