The Lowdown on S/36 and S/38 Compilers in i5/OS V5R5
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Since the end of January, I have been trying to get the official details on exactly what IBM was planning with regard to the System/36 and System/38 compilers in the WebSphere Development Studio application development tool. I hooked up with George Farr, technical development manager for System i development tools at IBM's Toronto software labs, late last week and he explained the situation to me. READ MORE >

Oracle and IBM Work to Rebuild the JDE Channel
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It is safe to say that it has been a tumultuous couple of years for the users of software created by the former J.D. Edwards. The acquisition of JDE by PeopleSoft for $1.7 billion in June 2003 was upsetting to the JDE business that was largely associated with the iSeries platform, and the $10.3 billion hostile takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle that was finalized in January 2005 was shocking to the iSeries faithful.

by Mary Lou Roberts
If quantity is in any way connected to quality or importance, then IBM's announcement last Monday of new software and services to help customers adopt service oriented architecture, or SOA, was a humdinger. All in all, Big Blue rolled out 11 new products (some of which had been previously announced, and not all of which have yet been released) and 20 enhancements to existing products--all designed to speed up adoption and implementation of SOA.

As I See It: Women
by Victor Rozek
There were rumors that Margaret Thatcher was actually a woman, but they were never proven to my satisfaction. She wasn't called "The Iron Lady" for nothing. She often seemed hard and unsympathetic, and stubbornly belligerent as only people who are convinced of their own superiority can be--sort of like Ronald Reagan without the aw-shucks charm. I recall being disappointed, but this was the 1980s and I was naive and actually thought that having women in positions of political power might soften the world. READ MORE >
