System i Addict

This the OPEN LETTER to the POWER COMMUNITY

“Perhaps most important to you is the fact that our new Power Systems servers support your applications. This support continues IBM’s decades-long record of helping clients protect their application investment that for many of you goes back to the days of the AS/400 and even earlier. Also, we provide upgrades into the new Power Systems from the majority of our POWER5 and POWER5+ server models, again helping you deploy new technology while maximizing your return on previous investments.”

I have read the letter and it seems very dry and blah. I don’t think Mr. Ross Mauri gets it.  I may be wrong but seems like they are still thinking about each OS as a platform and not as one Platform and many OSes.
